Jaren Jackson, Jr. is one of the highest ceiling players in the NBA. A big reason for this is his quick release and how little a window he needs. Memphis& #39; early O is extremely simple and it only works because of JJJ& #39;s insane range. They run guard plays for him.
Memphis& #39; early O is simple, this is their core play. A pretty simple look where the point guard brings it up towards the elbow, a wing (Brooks here) comes off a screen and attacks downhill. They run this with or without JJJ but he& #39;s often the middle screener.
Here, the Knicks expect this early O screening action at the top and pre-rotate to the paint. Morant forces them through another tough screen and causes the rotation, JJJ punishes it with a quick release from the corner.
