GG Jackson: "When we go over the matchups, the very next slide is 'Pigeons'. And uh, we'll have—whoever the players are for pigeons—uh, you know, when we try to play the Nuggets, we want to get Jokic in a lot of ball screens with guys really going full speed downhill at him. You know, he's not really the best at the rim, but uh, make sure you keep the ball protected. You know, he can get his hands in there to swipe down."

Risacher, who doesn’t turn 20 until April 8, tied Rockets guard Jalen Green (4) for third in NBA history among teenagers with the most games with 20 or more points scored and five-plus 3-pointers made, according to Stat Mamba. Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (8) and Grizzlies forward GG Jackson (5) are the others. “He should be, in my eyes, and I’m not saying it because I’m biased, but I think (he) should be Rookie of the Year,” Young said. “What he’s been doing this year, he’s been thrown into the fire as a starter. You put him up against some of the guys in the running. I think his numbers speak for himself, too.

“The sample size is the sample size. It's not just a couple of games,” asserted Jenkins. “Guys have been in the rotation. Jaylen, thankfully, broke the lid open in the fourth quarter (vs. New Orleans). I think (Vince Williams Jr.) is getting great looks. (GG Jackson) is getting great looks, Ja has got great looks. I mean, whether it is variance or not, we have got to keep putting the work in.”

GG Jackson on Victor Wembanyama: “My opinion has drastically changed. As a competitor, we always find ways to hate. I’m pretty sure there are a lot of 18-year-olds saying, ‘I’m better than Cooper Flagg,’ but in reality, it’s like, bro, stop. He’s creating a new wave. I feel like, in the next 20 or 30 years, we’re going to see a couple of 7’5” or 7’3” dudes bringing the ball up the court and doing things like that.

GG Jackson on Ja Morant's hops: “I’ll compare it to when you see Mario jump and there’s that little poof of an air cloud under him. Swear to God, sometimes you see a little poof of a cloud under Ja. Every day in practice, like the past two training camps I’ve been part of, it’s something new. Like, every single day.”
