Memphis Grizzlies
Last season summary: 55-27, L, Western Conference Semifinals vs Warriors
Changes
Offseason Addition(s): Matt Barnes, Brandan Wright, Andrew Harrison, Jarell Martin
Offseason Subtraction(s): Nick Calathes, Kosta Koufos, Jon Leuer
Outlook
The Good: Defense is still strong
The Bad: They need outside shooters, is Barnes the answer?
Concern: Can Conley elevate his game to another level?
Prediction: 3rd in the Southwest
Note: The only way that the Memphis Grizzlies are going to be able to keep up with the rest of the Western Conference powerhouses is if they can consistently hit the 3. That may in fact be the only aspect of the game that is keeping this team from winning an NBA Championship. Although, it’s something they haven’t been able to address in three years.
