How the Ja Morant &Jaren Jackson Jr. tandem looks in the West

What a difference two years can make…In the 2017-18 season, the Grizzlies roster lacked young prospects the fans could feel excited about. On the contrary, the spectre of a prolonged and agonizing rebuild, like that the Sixers went through, loomed over the franchise. However, they selected one of the most NBA ready prospects in the 2018 draft in Jaren Jackson Jr. and felt confident enough to finally disband the Conley – Gasol pairing. This offseason, the luck was on their side on lottery night and they once again landed a transcendent talent in Ja Morant. Considering that many franchises spend years trying to build through the draft, it is an incredible achievement that the Memphis Grizzlies have found their future stars just two years into their rebuild.
