Jaren Jackson Jr. had 22 points (9-of-17 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, two steals and two three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Magic.
Jackson and most of the starters curiously played 25 minutes or less. The Jazz led by seven entering the fourth quarter before sidelining the 26-year-old power forward and other veterans, which ultimately led to the three-point loss. Jackson’s fantasy upside will be limited if this kind of game management continues. While he played well when he was on the court, fantasy managers have to consider it a discouraging debut.
