Memphis Grizzlies

Wade Baldwin IV, Andrew Harrison, Deyonta Davis, Wayne Selden

Andrew Harrison has seen the most playing time out of the rookies on the Grizzlies. He’s played in 66 of the games and even though he hasn’t been contributing big numbers his play (5.9 points, 2,7 assists per game) has largely been just fine.

Davis and Baldwin IV had been getting more minutes per game earlier in the season, but not much as of late. But that could be attributed to the shortening of rotations as the playoff push grew closer.

Selden has only appeared in five games. For now, it seems the Grizzlies are more interested in playing their veteran players instead of grooming their young guys.
