Is it possible that the reigning Defensive Player of the Year and a 2022-23 NBA All-Star is poised for a big breakout year? Seems crazy to think, but that might be the case for Jaren Jackson Jr., who was voted as the best player in FIBA World Cup training camp by his peers this weekend.
Jackson, a former star for Michigan State, and Team USA have been working hard in scrimmages against the USA Select team this past week, and his teammates were clearly impressed by his performance, naming him the best player over big names like Anthony Edwards, Brandon Ingram, Tyrese Haliburton, and others.
