NBA Power Rankings: Buy or sell the Chicago Bulls atop the East?

8. Memphis Grizzlies

Not enough people are talking about what’s happening with the Memphis Grizzlies. We’re potentially seeing the rise of a young team that could very well make some strong noise in the Western Conference playoffs.

The greatest part of all this is the fact that the Grizzlies actually performed well without Ja Morant. When their star was injured, the Grizzlies didn’t fade toward the bottom of the West. That’s the most impressive part of the Grizzlies’ season so far.

Now that Morant is back and healthy, the Grizzlies are looking more and more like a legit top 4 seed in the West this season.
