Re: Grizzlies Impressing
I didn't expect Darko to be producing the way he is this fast; it's nice to see him finally get an opportunity like this with no BS. I think this is only the beginning for him; I think he has 17ppg, 11rpg, and 2.5bpg potential remaining.
I've been surprised with Conley's lack of p/t. I don't know if it's from subpar play or they're intentionally limiting his minutes. PG is supposed to be the hardest NBA transition, but I still think he's not getting enough. Are they keeping Damon around as a mentor? You'd think he'd have some value with a playoff team. I imagine he's gone next summer.
Regardless, I think the Grizz are in great shape with current coaching and management. Their books are relatively lean, with Stro and Damon only having one year left after this. Cardinal at least is a decent per/min guy and plays hard; still pretty well overpaid, though.
I like how they'll be positioned in the next draft. There'll be a good deal of intriguing talent available. As far as bigs, if they wanna stay quick, Greene and Arthur should be there. If they want a banger, Jordan, Love, Thabeet, and a Lopez or two may be available. Batum could be interesting for them as well. What better team for him than the one that has the two guys he's most often compared to (Miller and Gay)?
