Gotham Knights are offering Jaren Jackson Jr 23M for a 5 year contract with the 5th year being a team option.
As compared to Bam who was resigned last year at 22M, Bam is the more statistically better fantasy player in 9 categories, Bam surpasses JJJ in 6-9 categories see below.
2022 Stats JJJ Bam
Minutes 1,788 2,598
Field Goals Made 416 602
Field Goals % 0.506 0.54
Three Points Made 100 1
Three Points % 0.355 0.083
Free Throws % 0.788 0.806
Offensive Rebound 108 184
Rebounds 426 688
Assists 60 240
Turnovers 107 187
Steals 65 88
Blocks 189 61
Points 1,173 1,529
The case for blocks:
JJJ averaged 3 blocks per game in 2022, his career average is 2.1, the year prior he averaged 2.3 blocks per game.
In the 75+ year NBA history the only other times an NBA player averaged 3+ blocks per game in consecutive seasons is Olajuwon in the 90s, Mark Eaton in the 80s and Manute Bol in the 90s.
By the history of probable outcomes, it's highly unlikely that JJJ averages 3 blocks a game
To conclude this, Bam is a better statistical player (6-9) than JJJ , JJJs blocks will come down and finally JJJ should not be valued at the same amount that Bam was resigned to last year.
