Memphis Grizzlies News: Jaren Jackson Jr.’s 22-point outing draws “disappointing” take from Draymond Green
Draymond Green and Jaren Jackson Jr. have formed a friendship because of their Michigan State ties, which is why the Golden State Warriors forward had mixed emotions after his team won last night.
The four-time NBA champion called Jackson’s 22-point performance “disappointing” because the 25-year-old forward struggled with foul trouble all night and shot poorly from the field (7-for-20 shooting).
“I’m disappointed in Jaren,” Green said via Jonah Dylan of Memphis Commercial Appeal. “You know I’ve got a lot of love for him, that’s my Spartan dog. He’s too good to still be getting in foul trouble. A couple of them fouls he picked up, he can stay away from them. It’s time for him to take that next step in that department.”
