OKC Thunder: National and TI editor power rankings week 8 – hot takes in top tier
13. team. 211. . 15-10. Previous: 13th. Memphis grizzlies
After a season or two of discussing increasing pace, the Grizzlies have returned to their bread and butter – GRIT and GRIND.
Hey, even in this new age of perimeter dominance and fast pace if there is a squad who doesn’t need to change it probably is the Grizzlies. With the addition of Jaren Jackson the team has essentially brought back ZBo 2.0 in the form of a youthful athletic big. Of course, the key difference is JJJ can jump!
