21. Mike Conley, Wayne Selden – Memphis Grizzlies

After losing Tyreke Evans this past summer, Wayne Selden is penciled in as the Memphis Grizzlies starting shooting guard. Selden, 23, is entering his third year in the NBA and produced when given the opportunity last season with the Grizzlies.

And we all know what the Grizzlies will be getting with Mike Conley, who missed most of last season due to injury. Conley is an all-star when healthy, and one of the most underrated players in the NBA at the same time.

He’s a beast on the defensive end and a better offensive player than many think he is. When healthy, he’s a difference maker on both ends of the floor.
