10. Desmond Bane, Memphis Grizzlies
Because of the star power that surrounds Ja Morant, it’s easy to forget just how talented some players in his supporting cast are in Memphis. Desmond Bane happens to be one of those players. At the shooting guard position, Bane offers the Memphis Grizzlies an underrated dynamic offensive player who is better than he gets credit for by most on the defensive end of the floor. Bane has the potential to be a future All-Star and I anticipate he’ll begin to get more praise as he continues to churn out consistent, productive seasons.
In just his third season in the league, Bane averaged 22 points, five rebounds, and four assists per game on 48 percent shooting from the field and 41 percent shooting from 3-point range. He’s consistently the Grizzlies’ second or third-best player (depending on what you think about Jaren Jackson Jr.), and may just be entering the prime of his career.
Bane isn’t the household name that he probably should be at this point, but the talent is there. There isn’t much that Bane can’t do on the basketball floor.
