Before the season, Dave Fizdale named JaMychal Green the starting power forward. Many Memphis Grizzlies fans were in shock. Two-time All-Star and franchise cornerstone Zach Randolph was making a move to the bench as the team’s sixth man. No one knew how the move would go. Would Fizdale mess up the continuity by separating Gasol and Randolph? Was JaMychal Green ready to be a full-time NBA starting power forward?
All the questions seem to be a thing of the past. The Grizzlies rattled off a six-game win streak en route to a 10-6 start. Mike Conley and Marc Gasol have been playing at an All-Star level.
