Jerry on the offseason

West on Team USA

Quote:

On the Grizzlies three rookies:

"We thought [Gay] was the best talent in the draft, period. I know that Toronto was thinking about taking him No. 1, there was a division up there. But, to get an opportunity to get a talent like this, and again, I'm not talking physical talent. To me there's physical talent and a basketball player. But it was exciting to get someone of his size, who can play all over the place. Absolutely incredible kid, a wonderful person.

"On top of that, we got a young point guard [Kyle Lowry] who's a tough, hard-nosed kid who was terrific for us in the summer league and then we got a kid in the second round, Alexander Johnson we think is going to be a significant factor in this league. He was tremendous in the summer league -- now, that's the summer league.

"But, we're very excited about these three players. And you don't want to go out and jump on a limb and say, 'Well, we've done something special.' We're not going to know that until we get into the year and watch the development of these young players.

Do you guys think that this three young players added so much in order to take our Grizz to the next level?
