The Utah Jazz have faced challenges lately, losing 10 of their last 11 games and are eight games behind the final Play-In slot in the Western Conference. However, they’re still active as the NBA trade deadline approaches.
The Jazz and Grizzlies have completed the first significant trade of the deadline. Memphis is sending Jaren Jackson Jr., a former fourth-overall NBA Draft pick, along with other players to Utah. In exchange, Utah is giving up three first-round Draft picks and four players, including rookie Walter Clayton Jr.
Jackson Jr. has been the most reliable player for the Grizzlies this season, posting averages of 19.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game over 45 games. Despite this, Memphis is only five games ahead of Utah in the Western standings.
This leads us to today’s quiz. Jaren Jackson Jr. adds both defensive skill and three-point shooting to a Utah team that currently has the highest points allowed per game in the NBA and ranks second-to-last in three-point shooting percentage. Can you name all the players who have won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award?
Good luck!
