Analyzing the Memphis Grizzlies’ backup point guard situation

By the end of the 2020-21 season, it looked like the Memphis Grizzlies had a relative sense of security at the backup point guard spot. Ja Morant had taken a step forward as a player and when he was off of the floor, Tyus Jones was filling in as his number two guy.

And even though Jones will never be mistaken for an NBA All-Star, he got the job done efficiently and maintained solid offense with the rotational players. His best stat, which I love to bring up, is his league-leading 5.
