Jaren Jackson is the best offensive player in the 2022/23 regular season.

The National Basketball Association named the best defenseman in the league. This year, the title of “Mr. Castle” was received by Memphis player Jaren Jackson.

The 23-year-old forward confidently beat Milwaukee center Brooke Lopez (309 points) and Cleveland forward Evan Mobley (101) in the poll with 391 points.

Voting results for best defensive player

Note that Jackson’s averages this season are: 3 blocks (the best in the league) and 1 interception per game. With a personal defensive rating of 106.6, the player helped his team rank third in the league in defensive efficiency (110.7).

Jackson became the second player in Grizzly history to win such an award. Exactly 10 years ago, in 2013, center Marc Gasol was recognized as the best defender in the NBA.

It will be remembered that Memphis did not successfully start the playoff series, losing the first match to the Lakers.
