The Memphis Grizzlies have used more players than most NBA teams to this point in the season. At 20-20, the Grizzlies have maintained .500 basketball without Jaren Jackson Jr. by using a rotating merry-go-round of players.
But this couldn’t last — it never does in the NBA.
As expected, Taylor Jenkins has narrowed down the rotation to significantly fewer players. While we saw upwards of 12 guys playing in previous games, we’re seeing a maximum of 10 players on the court in recent games.
