“Elite” isn’t a term I’ll throw out often. Big hasty generalizations aren’t something I’m going to give out either. However, the Memphis Grizzlies might have an elite bench.
After an opening-night win against the Pelicans, the Grizzlies ripped off a whopping 53 points off the bench. Pair that with a 27-point performance from Mike Conley, and there should be a Grizzly win nine times out of ten.
Even though they played one of the league’s worst benches, there’s just an interesting blend of talent that gels so well together. They have four perimeter players who can score, shoot and create for themselves and others.
