[Medina]Jaren Jackson Jr. to @Sportskeeda about the Grizzlies' rough start without Ja Morant: “I’m not tripping about it. I’m going to blink, & he’s going to be back. We’re halfway to that point.” (alien.top)

The Grizzlies started the season 2-8 and will be missing Ja for 15 more games. If they don't pick their act up (missing 3 starters), they might drop out of the playoff race and have to fight hard for playin positioning, if that.

I would say our overall defense is kinda mid, our interior defense is actually good.

Actually Ja being back may be good for defense for once, I love Gil, but Jordan Clarkson was just shooting over him. And if we can cut down on the Smart Bane turnovers, we can actually set up defense properly.

Don't know how to improve 3 point defense though, that is probably a feature, not a big at this point

Never gonna be fixed as long as we are a paint protective defense. Our guys can't pull off double coverage fast enough. Especially teams with good perimeter passing
