Jaylen Wells just hit a milestone that redefines Memphis’ long-term plans

Last year's Rookie of the Year finalist has taken his game to the next level for a Grizzlies team that desperately needed it. Jaylen Wells began the season in a major slump, but his teammates kept encouraging him to continue attempting shots, and it has paid off in his last nine games.

Jaylen Wells is averaging 18.1 points on 58.6% shooting from the field and 52.3% from three in those last nine games, and is the team’s leading scorer during that span. His nine-game streak scoring in double figures is a career-high, as five games were his longest streak during his rookie season last year.
