With Kyle Anderson and Dillon Brooks out with injuries, Yuta Watanabe should be an alternative option. With the losses continuing to pile up the Memphis Grizzlies need to give him a chance.
When the loss to the Bucks seemed inevitable, J.B. Bickerstaff experimented with more of his younger players. Little did he know, this mash-up of talent would bring the deficit to 10 points in 5 minutes after the 20 + point lead Milwaukee had.
Watanabe used this time, alongside Jevon Carter, Justin Holiday, Ivan Rabb, and Omri Casspi, to show the league he was made for more than the G-League court.
