211. . 28-42. Previous: 21st. Memphis grizzlies. 22. team

I’m curious to see how this ragtag reformulated squad will look next season with Jaren Jackson and Jonas Valanciunas playing together. Will J.B. Bickerstaff adopt a similar usage pattern to Nick Nurse by platooning the pair or will he play them together? If the Grizzlies keep Mike Conley will they play him alongside Delon Wright or bring Wright off the bench?

An intriguing offseason awaits.
