There were a lot of questions for the Memphis Grizzlies going into the 2020-2021 season. Primarily, with Jaren Jackson Jr. out for an undisclosed amount of time, should the Grizzlies tank for a good draft pick?
The Grizzlies answered those questions by shocking the world finishing in the 8th seed in the Western conference all while knocking off Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors in the play-in tournament. Then, they proceeded to steal a game from the 1st overall seed, Utah Jazz before being eliminated from the playoffs.
