Entering his fourth year in the NBA, Vince Williams Jr. appears to be at a crossroads with the Memphis Grizzlies' organization. After showing potential defensive vibes previously displayed by former Grizzlies players such as Dillon Brooks and Tony Allen during the 2023-24 season, he was expected to be a key rotational player last season.
However, a training camp injury to his left tibia took him out for the first month of last season. Then, three games after he returned, he left again with a high ankle sprain that he never fully recovered from throughout the rest of the regular season, which saw him in an end-of-the-bench role with spot minutes after missing over two months.
