The Memphis Grizzlies and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope appear to be a perfect match on paper, and that is what the organization is hoping for. Caldwell-Pope is a veteran, championship-experienced player who excels in his 3-and-D role, which is exactly what the team needs in the backcourt with Ja Morant.
Becoming a more modern-built NBA team was on the Grizzlies' agenda this offseason, and pairing Morant with a guard who can take on tough defensive assignments fits the team. However, KCP's name has been a topic of discussion for how the Grizzlies view him as part of their core with two years remaining on his contract.
