With Ja Morant out of the lineup, it’s a growing opportunity for all parties with the Memphis Grizzlies.
For this GBBLive, I have Anthony Sain with me to discuss a ton of angles within the past few weeks — particularly around Morant’s events off the court, and the trinkle effect with this team.
We unpack the news of Ja Morant going to a counseling center in Florida, while stressing the importance of getting right mentally before returning to the court — however long it may be.
With murmurs of the Grizzlies’ leadership and their playoff hopes, we talk about the big opportunity ahead for Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. in this stretch.
We break down Desmond Bane’s evolution as a playmaking guard that can score at all 3 levels and find his teammates. We weigh in on Bane needing to take more 3’s.
Finally, we look at how Jaren Jackson Jr. has grown in this stretch, and where he could also improve — with huge comp, and a far-look into next season. I pose the final question of whether or not this is a moment Jackson finds his voice as the leader of this Grizzlies team.
