Welcome back to your Grizzlies Insider, where we deliver the latest NBA news and analysis straight to your inbox.

On this episode of The Daily Memphian’s Memphis Grizzlies podcast, Drew Hill and Chris Herrington break down an encouraging pair of games from Grizzlies big man Jaren Jackson Jr.

Jackson has struggled this season but found his offensive range in wins over the Clippers and Timberwolves. Will this be enough to help the All-Star forward find continued success in Iisalo’s system?

Hill and Herrington share where they believe Jackson’s game stands after his recent upward trend.

Hill and Herrington discuss whether or not the Grizzlies are closer to the bottom of the Western Conference or to a playoff team.
