For the first time in years, the Memphis Grizzlies finally have young talent to be excited about. 2016 draft picks Wade Baldwin and Deyonta Davis have the tantalizing potential to be a stud duo for the Grizzlies going forward. In addition, 2015 first-round pick Jarell Martin has shown flashes of brilliance on both ends of the court. While fans have seen ample playing time from Baldwin and Martin, Deyonta Davis needs to receive more playing time.
Health
The main narrative for the Grizzlies this season is health. While Mike Conley and Chandler Parsons underwent season-ending injuries, first and second string centers Marc Gasol and Brandan Wright’s seasons were cut short, too.
