Approximately two months until the official tip-off of the regular season, Sunday marked the date for the NBA’s annual Rookie Photo Shoot conducted by Panini America. From a Memphis Grizzlies perspective, all eyes were on Jaren Jackson Jr., the fourth overall pick of the 2018 NBA Draft.
This annual event places the majority of the first-year faces in their gameday uniforms. For instance, Grizz Nation has witnessed “Triple-J” donning a Grizzlies uniform in NBA Summer League action, but it was not the new uniforms, which were unveiled a few days ago.
