If he can stay healthy he just is your modern NBA big. He shoots from 3 (very well and at a high volume), he has a face up game which I expect will improve, he can handle the ball, and he is already good on defense with all the tools to be an elite defender.

Just to clarify I do have his cards, nothing higher than a Prizm Silver, I'm a huge homer and I really believe what I'm saying.

I like the cut of your jib.

Whenever I see the JJJ THREAD ON PAGE 1 I get excited thinking an announcement has been made. Carry on. My blues are still a long way away.

I saw some of X's defense on Chris Paul the other day and was impressed. The future is bright.

I can see them making a nice playoff run in the next few years and his cards going way up. Of course he needs to improve his rebounding, but that is more of a scheme/lineup issue IMO.

In regards to his timetable: I'm thinking he will be back pretty soon. It wouldn't surprise me if he plays a few games into their return from the COVID delay. But, no need to rush him back. Memphis fans know this, and we should know this as well. They have another Spartan, Xavier Tillman who is really shining in JJJ's absence. No doubt there will be room for JJJ upon the return, but no real rush IMO. They have quite a few bigs, but the JJJ and Xavier duo does intrigue me. Those two would play well together and JJJ would end up with a lot more rebounds with that combo.

Just my thought on the whole thing. No expert at all, just been a huge fan since his days at MSU. Think he could be the one MSU guy to truly make waves since Magic. And to think Tom Izzo benched him vs. Syracuse for Ben Carter... any MSU fan in here will get my pain.

Exactly the point I was trying to make. I wasn't on the forums, but had plenty of twitter arguments after Draymond was drafted arguing that he could be a consistent triple double threat and that he was a steal considering where he was taken. I also have a few of his cards, including a prizm auto which was a gift from my brother knowing how big of a fan I was of his... but Draymond is polarizing. Some people still have no respect for his game and others hate him for his attitude/strategy.

The point was that JJJ has the potential to gain a huge fanbase. Arguably one similar to that of Magic's. And it's because his game sells and he has the skill set to truly be a dominant big in todays NBA. That size, with those skills and he can already shoot. Keep that man healthy and look out.

To me Tillman developed into a bigger version of Draymond. Not as good of a passer, and not as smart on the court, but very similar skills. Looks like he might be the better shooter though. Great story as well if you ever look into him. But don't mean to turn it into a MSU forum. All still waiting for the return of JJJ.

I really love his attitude. His twitter is filled with positive talk and encouragement of hard work. You can tell he is willing to put in the work to get to where he wants to go. Memphis is going to be a really likable group too. I think by the second half of the season everyone will know who Jaren Jackson Jr. is.

Him not being in the bubble, they would have made the tournament without the injury, was goid for those of us who saw the potential. Low buy in. I cannot wait for him to get on the court and for my other 25 blues from chronicles to return from PSA

Nice card ^^^

Could've used a different photo though.

My man triple J is about to bust out a break dancing move.

The picture is the main reason I would not go after his Prizm cards. Only the few I pulled. That picture on Prizm is just silly.

Nice card however.

Few pickups from COMC recently
Almost game time!!

The_Reverend · 01-29-2021, 10:30 AM

Still looking for the Playoff Blue out of 99 to complete my Blue Bo!!

Spartanwilliam · 01-29-2021, 11:15 AM

At PSA on a 5-day, but the only picture I could find of the 1/1 White Sparkle Auto. Looked like a 10 to me, but you never know until you know..

I think we all can agree the image on the auto should have been the image on the base rc in prizm!

No doubt! Love the image on the auto. The image on the base.... not great. But the auto's should have the RC shield on them, so it somewhat evens out?

i4gotmyid · 01-29-2021, 12:25 PM

So...I didnt start out collecting JJJ, most of his stuff I gathered while taking on lots centered around Luka. While watching games (albeit more for Ja than JJJ at the time), I have become a fan...not to the extent some of you guys are...I dont think he will be a top 5 player but I do enjoy watching him play.

I'm not going to bore you with photos of stuff already posted, so here are pics of JJJ cards I did not see in the thread.

Agree. Had the base had this auto I would have had tons! As a non-auto collector I wish it was chosen.

beavers · 01-30-2021, 11:45 AM

A whole bunch of stuff I was watching sold last night including all of the lowest priced Optic Silver Holo’s. It seems like his market is picking up a bit. Still no word on his return yet though.

Vinny1984 · 01-30-2021, 11:54 AM

Every time this thread is bumped, another JJJ leaves ebay.

Yes I am noticing the same thing. The ppd of games as frustrating as it is will allow him to heal without missing games. I think we will soon be seeing J to JJJ. Most excited to see his development as a player. The talent is there and Memphis is fun to watch!!!

Those of us who are early in’s could be handsomely rewarded.

I bought the One and One /5 last night but have also wrapped up my buying for the most part. If I can find killer deals on awesome cards I will still probably throw my hat in on them, but I am done hoarding like I have been for the last four months.

I have not bought a JJJ since I purchased my obsidian blue for my blue bo. When I say my hoard is complete, no autos, it is serial numbered heavy!!!
