OKC Thunder: TI editor power ranking week 9: The shuffle is on

Yo-yo team of the year. Just when you think the Grizzlies are going to consistently deliver the grit and grind and the incredible rook Jaren Jackson Jr is the perfect fit beside Marc Gasol and Mike Conley they stumble.

Memphis will win three or five in a row and then lose three or five in a row. Much like the Magic have issues scoring many nights so too the Grizzlies. In fact the Magic and Grizzlies rank 27th and 26th respectively on offense. The big difference is the Grizzlies defense keeps them in games.

It may not be a style you’ll love or your League Pass guilty pleasure, but Jaren Jackson is worth the price of admission.

And hey they have two guys with Brooks in their names!
