The Zach Lowe Show
Jaren Jackson Jr. Out Indefinitely and a Look at the Tanking Crisis

He just does it because that's the best way for teams to win because he's awesome.

The Zach Lowe Show
Jaren Jackson Jr. Out Indefinitely and a Look at the Tanking Crisis

I think he has the skill set.

The Zach Lowe Show
Jaren Jackson Jr. Out Indefinitely and a Look at the Tanking Crisis

First of all, I doubt if he comes back, I doubt he's just going to be playing like 36 minutes a game.

The Zach Lowe Show
Jaren Jackson Jr. Out Indefinitely and a Look at the Tanking Crisis

I think he'll probably be in a limited role too.

The Zach Lowe Show
Jaren Jackson Jr. Out Indefinitely and a Look at the Tanking Crisis

So with that comes an acceptance that you're kind of in a limited role from a doing stuff standpoint.

The Zach Lowe Show
Jaren Jackson Jr. Out Indefinitely and a Look at the Tanking Crisis

He's a smart player.

The Zach Lowe Show
Jaren Jackson Jr. Out Indefinitely and a Look at the Tanking Crisis

He's always defended.

The Zach Lowe Show
Jaren Jackson Jr. Out Indefinitely and a Look at the Tanking Crisis

He's always been like a make the right play kind of guy, or at least has had the intentions of making the right play.

The Zach Lowe Show
Jaren Jackson Jr. Out Indefinitely and a Look at the Tanking Crisis

I could totally see him coming back and just being like,

The Zach Lowe Show

the best role player in the NBA.

The Zach Lowe Show
Jaren Jackson Jr. Out Indefinitely and a Look at the Tanking Crisis

Like take away all of Jason Tatum's really difficult shots, all the grenades he has to put up because he's the savior late in the shot clock because there's four seconds left, he receives the ball and he's got to create something.

The Zach Lowe Show
Jaren Jackson Jr. Out Indefinitely and a Look at the Tanking Crisis

The times where he's got to take a step back three out of a pick and roll against an awesome defender guarding him or whatever else.

The Zach Lowe Show
Jaren Jackson Jr. Out Indefinitely and a Look at the Tanking Crisis

And just kind of even the playing field for him to where now he's kind of more off ball, more spot ups, kind of easier shots, good team defender.

The Zach Lowe Show
Jaren Jackson Jr. Out Indefinitely and a Look at the Tanking Crisis

I mean, that's still... Even if it is not all NBA Jason Tatum, if he's willing to accept it, that might be the best... I mean, there's a chance for it to be the best role player in the NBA.

The Zach Lowe Show
Jaren Jackson Jr. Out Indefinitely and a Look at the Tanking Crisis

If he is anything, even if he's 80% of himself, that's the best role player in the NBA.

The Zach Lowe Show
Jaren Jackson Jr. Out Indefinitely and a Look at the Tanking Crisis

So it's a huge... I think it's a huge addition.

The Zach Lowe Show
Jaren Jackson Jr. Out Indefinitely and a Look at the Tanking Crisis

And I'm less worried about the ego stuff with him than I would be for most guys because it just...

The Zach Lowe Show
Jaren Jackson Jr. Out Indefinitely and a Look at the Tanking Crisis

seems out of character and out of style for him to come and be like, I'm going to hijack this thing.

The Zach Lowe Show
Jaren Jackson Jr. Out Indefinitely and a Look at the Tanking Crisis

He just doesn't usually operate that way.

The Zach Lowe Show
Jaren Jackson Jr. Out Indefinitely and a Look at the Tanking Crisis

Yeah, the other... Can I add one thing, Zach?
