When the Memphis Grizzlies signed Brandan Wright to a three-year deal in the summer of 2015, he had a defined role. He was a third-big man who can change the pace of the game and give Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph a breather.
Instead, he experienced injury after injury as he missed all but 12 games his first season and played in 28 last season. When he did play, he looked like he could be a major piece for this team. However, with the big men in front of him, it was hard to define a role for him.
