MEMPHIS – Moments after his encouraging season debut the other night in the Grizzlies’ loss to the Clippers, Jaren Jackson Jr. couldn’t wait to retreat to his hotel room to watch film.

For as much as Jackson relatively shook off the dust and knocked off some rust to finish with 15 points, eight rebounds and four blocks in 18 minutes, it wasn’t the stats that stuck with him.
