Grizzlies Aim for Top-10 Finish with Revamped Roster After Disappointing Season
  • The Memphis Grizzlies are gearing up for the 2024-25 season under head coach Taylor Jenkins.

  • After a disappointing last season, where they finished with a record of 27-55 and missed the playoffs, the team is looking to rebound.

  • The struggles were largely attributed to Ja Morant's suspension and injuries to key players, including Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke.

  • The offseason saw the departure of several players, such as Ziaire Williams, Derrick Rose, and Yuta Watanabe.

  • In contrast, the Grizzlies have bolstered their roster by adding new talent, including Zach Edey, Jaylen Wells, Cam Spencer, and Jay Huff.

  • Zach Edey, the No. 9 draft pick, is anticipated to make a significant impact in the paint.

  • Desmond Bane emerged as a key player last season, averaging nearly 24 points per game, especially during Morant's absence.

  • Jaren Jackson Jr. has also evolved into a strong offensive player, moving beyond his initial reputation as merely a shot-blocker.

  • If the team can maintain health and find the right balance, they are aiming for a top-10 finish and a potential 50-win season.

  • However, concerns remain about how the new players will fit into the roster and whether Morant can stay healthy.

  • Ultimately, if injuries recur or team chemistry falters, another disappointing season could be on the horizon.

  • The Grizzlies faced significant challenges last season, but they are optimistic about their prospects for the upcoming season.
