2024 Fantasy Outlook
Jackson, a 2023 second-round pick, flashed at the end of his rookie season for an injury-depleted Grizzlies squad. He totaled 77 points over Memphis' final two regular-season games in 2023-24 and scored at least 30 four times across the final 18 games. Jackson averaged 20.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 stocks in 34.1 minutes during that stretch. He was on pace to be part of the regular rotation in 2024-25, but he broke his foot before training camp, missed the first 42 games and was never able to establish himself. The Grizzlies were busy this offseason. They swapped Desmond Bane for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, waived Marcus Smart and lost Jake LaRavia to free agency. They signed Ty Jerome and drafted Cedric Coward to mitigate the losses. That leaves Jackson in a similar spot heading into 2025-26. He'll compete for wing minutes with Jaylen Wells, Vince Williams, Santi Aldama, John Konchar and Coward. That many guys competing for one starting spot and a handful of reserve roles is not exactly a recipe for fantasy success. As long as Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson are healthy, GG's path to consistent usage is blocked, and his poor offensive efficiency can make him a liability in limited action for fantasy managers in category leagues.

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

GG Jackson was the 2022 South Carolina Basketball Gatorade Player of the Year and a two-time state champion with Ridge View High School after averaging 22.1 points, 10.9 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks per game. Jackson was a consensus top collegiate prospect for the 2023 recruiting class. However, Jackson reclassified into the 2022 collegiate class, ultimately joining the South Carolina program after initially committing to UNC. Jackson is a Columbia, South Carolina native and represents the youngest player eligible for the 2023 NBA Draft -- still just 18 years old. Jackson averaged 15.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game during his one-and-done campaign at South Carolina. Jackson plays at his own rhythm and has the tools to be an elite self-creator. He was asked to create shots outside of his comfort zone in college, as South Carolina's offense was jumbled. He projects as a more efficient player once comfortable in a well-oiled NBA offense, but Jackson may still be a go-to option when the possession needs a bail out. He's shown an ability to fill different roles on offense -- ballhandler, screener, cutter, post-up -- due to his fluidity, shooting ability and size. Jackson fits the Michael Beasley, Derrick Williams scoring mold. His success as a rookie may depend on whether the coach is comfortable letting Jackson take things into his own hands, or if the desire is for the forward to play within a rigid system. A mix of both might create the right type of environment for Jackson to operate in a sixth-man role, whether it be in 2023 or later down the line.

March 10, 2026
Jackson is not in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the 76ers on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Jackson has started in each of the Grizzlies' last eight games (and 14 of the last 15 contests). However, the third-year pro will come off the bench for Tuesday's contest while Taylor Hendricks enters the starting five. Since the All-Star break, Jackson has averaged 17.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.4 threes and 1.3 blocks over 25.5 minutes per game.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Despite being one of the youngest players in the NBA last season, several injuries to the Grizzlies thrust Jackson into a larger role than expected. The 2023 second-round pick responded with a stellar rookie campaign, averaging 14.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 25.7 minutes across 48 regular-season appearances, including 18 starts. While the 19-year-old forward shot just 42.8 percent from the field, his 35.7 percent shooting on 6.0 three-point attempts per contest was promising. While Jackson enjoyed a strong debut campaign, it's unclear what his role will be in 2024-25. Jackson underwent foot surgery in early September and is expected to miss at least the first month of the campaign. If Marcus Smart, Desmond Bane, Jaren Jackson, Vince Williams, John Konchar and Santi Aldama are all healthy when Jackson is cleared to return, he will likely be forced into a minor backup forward role. Regardless, Jackson's impressive rookie season for such a young player was promising enough to warrant a late-round draft pick in deeper fantasy leagues.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be traded
FMemphis Grizzlies
November 19, 2025
Rival teams are monitoring Jackson ahead of the trade deadline, Evan Sidery of Forbes.com reported Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Despite a ton of injuries in Memphis, Jackson is seemingly out of the plans for head coach Tuomas Iisalo. Thus far, Jackson has appeared in just six regular-season games for an average of 4.7 minutes per contest. Jackson showed some serious upside back in his rookie season, and Sidery notes that he could become an "intriguing trade target "for teams who want to roll the dice on upside."
