Mahcus Smaht: a throwback, ‘power guard’ who really gets under opponents’ skin defensively

Memphis’s John Konchar (aka “Jitty”) is always ready to provide quality minutes.

Dillon Brooks is fully settled in as Memphis's gritty vet on the wing: his brash confidence as a scorer & effectiveness as a defender is critical to team success.

Portrait: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (OKC)

Desmond Bane has been going off! to start the 2022-23 season - a major, impact player at shooting guard - how long before he cracks Top 5 (SG's) overall?

Jaren Jackson Jr. (MEM) led the way in an impressive road victory for the Grizz.

The 1st 10 All-Stars have been announced!

LeBron James: 18th! straight All-Star start (NBA-record)

Hawks-Grizzlies is a fun early season matchup.

Ja Morant: leader of the Grizz - Undisputed Franchise Player - Morant’s brought a new level of excitement back to Memphis.

Desmond Bane: do-it-all, outside scorer w/ strong offensive attributes.

Jaren Jackson Jr. is a new wave, All-Star big who’s on an incredible trajectory in the NBA.

Scotty Pippen Jr.’s craftiness & patience are beyond his years - hard-nosed, high IQ PG who knows how to make positive plays.

Santi Aldama flew below the map at Loyola (MD) - surprise pick at 30 in 2021 - very adept, 6’11 big.

Brandon Clarke is a an athletic forward w/ an A1 float game - true matchup problem.

Memphis’s John Konchar (aka “Jitty”) is always ready to provide quality minutes.

Marvin Bagley III is a quick, springy lefty who moves like a small forward.

Luke Kennard can put the ball in the basket, has made his name as a sniper & outside scorer.
