When several Grizzlies – from franchise catalysts Morant and Jackson to role players at the end of the bench – declared this week during exit interviews that this was the most fun season many have ever had playing basketball, it’s the ‘Santi dunk’ moments they point to as evidence. We’ve said it all year long – everybody here loves this team, loves this year, loves these times, loves our locker room.
The injuries didn’t really stop his on-court production once healthy, as Dillon Brooks averaged a career-high 18.4 points per game on 43.2% shooting from the field. It was a bad year for his 3-point shot, as he shot just a tick under 31% from beyond the arc. He also averaged a career high 2.8 assists during the regular season.
Those 3 players open up potential trade possibilities as well. From an internal perspective, they have a plethora of young players that have room to grow. With the roster in flux with free agency, playing time could be for the taking, and some big developments this offseason could give a young player an edge for a rotation spot next season.
