MEMPHIS – Grizzlies interim coach J.B. Bickerstaff may not be quite ready to evaluate the job he’s done under tough circumstances, but he’s certain about the progress made by several of the team’s younger prospects this season.
“To be honest with you, there’s been a bunch of them,” Bickerstaff said of players he believes have made the biggest strides this season. “If you look at every single one of our young guys, they’ve improved in some form or fashion. And that’s difficult when you’re playing a lot of guys, and they overlap at some positions.
