It’s on Kerr to give his players the best chance to succeed, he did not. I feel bad for JJJ he’s getting a lot of unwarranted criticism in the midst of some warranted criticism.

bro, get some rebounds

Jaren is 4th on our depth chart at center. Right behind Aldama, who averages 4.2 rebounds. Jaren would have been 5th if Clarke wasn’t injured and left off depth chart.

Dawg is averaging 2.8 rebounds playing center and got worked by Mo Wagner and Daniel Theis
Dude just isnât right for the team. Shouldâve just gave Duren, Stewart, Looney, Myles Turner, or Nic Claxton the spot

Hate when athletes say this stuff lol

DPOY has become a really weird award. Especially with this particular prototype of help side defenders like Jaren and Rob Williams and even Giannis kind of. They’re not “defensive anchors” but it *is* a hugely impactful role. Its the whole floor raiser / ceiling raiser thing again.
IMO Jaren, individually, is the least of their problems. They need to recalibrate the roster with at least one real C (that they’re going to actually play) and just generally get more defense out there
edit: also these reporters with “how do you respond to random social media user’s commentary” are lame as fuck

It wouldn’t be so bad if his team just had a rebounding philosophy of bigs focus on boxing out while guards grab the rebound and start the fast break, but that’s not what Memphis is doing and his boxing out is shit as well.
It’s an either or situation and he’s neither.
Could be that he’s chasing blocks so he’s always out of position after making guys miss. If you jump for everything you’re definitely not in position to box out.

JJJ is a great defender, he just needs to be playing with a real center

Reigning DPOY got bullied by Theis and Mo Wagner.

This dude had the whole nba world fooled. Bro was getting away with murder last year FIBA refs not the same as NBA refs simple as that.

what a fraud.

It helps being tall, but a lot of rebounding is about “want-to” and instincts (Rodman, Barkley and Ben Wallace are all well south of 7-feet and each were league leaders in rebounding).
Shaq_Fu_Da_Return
If Dennis Rodman could grab 16 rebounds per game at 6â7 Jaren should be able to get more than 3. Fiba or not

Getting bullied , copism

Westbrook wouldâve been a better Center.

Honestly, I’d rather have an above average blocker (or even average) but an elite rebounder than an elite blocker but below average rebounder. Rebounds secure a possession while blocks could go either way. Not gonna argue how he plays for Memphis, it’s working for them but it’s such a shame that he can’t rebound during this world cup against majority non-NBA talents.
slicksonslick
Shame, the only response is shame.
To defend JJJ, heâs defensive player of the year not rebounding player of the year⊠but rebounding is a part of defense, so shame.

If Bam was there would be no issues.

He can blame FIBA for not letting him bring his Grizzlies scorekeeper, “my man would say I’ve averaged 12 rebounds and 6 blocks per game.”

Remember how good Aquaman was at getting russ all the rebounds as well? Well I think we can see why JJJ can roam the way he does

I actually feel bad for jjj here people really taking one game where heâs not playing at his best position as a sign to shit on his entire career. Itâs kinda crazy this sub gets more n more recency bias and hating ass takes . Guy had a historic block %, yes I think AD is better defensively but some of the other guys floated around I donât think weâre better ( seriously Lopez ? Whoâs case was even more block numbers based abd is nowhere near as mobile and played bad in international before but people want him now in USA over jjj?). Jjj did have some responsibility in that loss in kinda suprised he didnât get any blocks or impsct much at the rim when it came down to it but people need to chill a bit . Yes I know feel bad for multi millionaires like they need it

JJJ is overrated as fuck, man is a foul machine and canât rebound for shit.

They hand out defensive mvps like participation trophies they donât mean shit in todays NBA.

Evan Mobley was defensive player of the year last year and wouldnât have gone down like a bitch in FIBA.

This guy is a fucking scrub
Dirkem96
I’ve been saying JJJ is overrated since last year and no one wants to hear it. Yes, he gets blocks, but he sells out for them all the time. Meaning he probably fouls the guy, or is completely out of position to finish the play for his team. And no boxing out as a center is pathetic and shows poor motivation and work ethic.

Itâs all good? What a dumb response, take some accountability and admit you need to play better smh
