NBA 2019: Top 5 young cores in the NBA TODAY

#4 Memphis Grizzlies

Jackson Jr. has already shown glimpses of what he is capable of doing

The Memphis Grizzlies are going to be one of the most exciting young teams in the NBA this coming season. While nobody expects them to be a competitive team, they might cause more than a fair share of upsets and will be led by their new franchise cornerstone, Jaren Jackson Jr.

Jackson Jr., also called "JJJ", is one of the most talented big man in the NBA right now. He showed glimpses of just what he is capable of, a rim running power forward that can defend all 5 positions and can even be a center. He is a good three-point shooter, stretching the floor and his elite defensive game is what sets him apart from most other talents.

He will be complemented by the No. 2 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, Ja Morant, who is the most explosive player from the draft. He is a really fast player and can go from defense to offense in seconds. He is an elite passer and while he has to improve his 3 point shot, his drives to the basket creates more than enough space for others to make good on it.

While the Grizzlies have a lot of other young players in Bruno Caboclo, Dillion Brooks, Ivan Rabb, none are as impressive as their No. 21 pick from the 2019 draft, Brandon Clarke from Gonzaga.

He is a 6 foot 8 inch forward who is just a massive presence on the floor. He is rim runner and perfectly complements JJJ at the No. 4 spot. He has a good three-point shot and is an amazing athlete, which will be a great fit alongside Ja and Jackson.
