The Memphis Grizzlies‘ biggest loss in the 2021 offseason had to be Jonas Valanciunas, who was arguably the most consistent player on the team last season. Even though he didn’t necessarily fit alongside the rest of the team age-wise, Valanciunas fit like a glove.
That said, one of the more underrated guys on last year’s team was Grayson Allen, who snuck his way into Grizzlies fans’ hearts during his two years on Beale Street.
While he’ll be labeled as a pure three-point shooter, Allen’s game was much more complicated than that. He was one of the most athletic players on the team and, despite being one of the more disliked players in the league, he embodied the Grizzlies’ grit-and-grind mentality.
