The Memphis Grizzlies have a roster full of “almosts.” When I say that, I mean that the team has a handful of players who could have earned recognition for their performance in the 2020-21 season but didn’t. Let me give you an example.
In 2019-20, Kyle Anderson averaged 5.8 points, 0.8 steals, 2.4 assists, and 4.3 rebounds. It was a decent year, but the Grizzlies wouldn’t truly unlock his potential until the 2020-21 season when Anderson more than doubled his scoring output and increased his numbers in every statistical category.
