Bryson and Alex are back with another episode of the Next Gen Podcast! We start with Team USA winning as an underdog in Spain. Jaren Jackson Jr. and Santi Aldama scored 14 points and continued showing their off-season improvements. How can this experience help them during the season? We also discuss the Anthony Edwards-Jaren clip circulating on social media.
Next, we discuss Pau Gasol has been inducted into the Hall of Fame, the first player ever drafted by the Grizzlies to receive that honor. The best years of his career might not have been in Memphis, but the city is still significant to him and his family. We discuss whether or not his jersey will be retired in Memphis and why he will always be a big part of the Grizzlies’ history.
The NBA has announced the schedule for the In-season tournament. The Grizzlies’ schedule and how they match up with their group. They will play four games, two at home and two on the road, vs the Trail Blazers, Jazz, Lakers, and Suns. We give our predictions and talk about why only one of the games in nationally televised. All of that and more on this week’s episode!
