Santa Barbara, CA – The Memphis Grizzlies went through a spirited workout lasting more than two and a half hours at the Robertson Gymnasium on the campus of UC-Santa Barbara Tuesday afternoon.
Dave Joerger, in comments after the practice, was pleased with the workout. Noting that the coaching staff was “trying to work the two new guys (Matt Barnes and Brandon Wright) in,” Joerger enthused about the added athleticism and high basketball IQ Barnes and Wright bring to the Grizzlies roster. He was also very complimentary of Courtney Lee’s offseason conditioning work.
Even though the Grizzlies have substantial roster continuity from previous seasons, there are still things to be learned.
