GG Jackson stringing together a bunch of good games these days. Dude looks legit.
The Grizzlies are the new Spurs when it comes to finding talent deep in the draft.
They've had some absolutely terrible misses though as well. If there's anything to be learned from the Grizzlies roster building set-up its that if you take enough swings and pick up guys who fell in the draft for weird reasons (Bane's T-Rex arms/GG trying to fight his coach in college) you're bound to have a success or two.
Even once Ja comes back at full strength next season, they've still got a MASSIVE big man sized hole on their roster though since they traded Steven Adams and Tillman and JJJ and Aldama are pretty much 6'11" shooting guards in terms of physicality.
Ziare Williams haș not panned out at all and letting Slo-Mo walk in free agency to give him a bigger role just hasn't panned out in the least bit. They dumped Big Body Roddy after a single season. I guess Aldama has looked okay but for the most part, the Grizzlies have not really had much recent draft success aside from GGJ, who might play the same position as their second best player (JJJ), which sorta puts them in a bind.
Oddly, the Grizzlies are sorta in the same position as the Kings in that their roster is full of guards, some of whom might be okay at guarding up, and forwards who are also exclusively forwards. The difference is that we have a All-Star center in Sabonis and a bonafide jumbo wing prospect in Keegan.
