Memphis Grizzlies 2016-17 Final Review: Tony Allen

The Grindfather, Tony Allen, is a catalyst for the Memphis Grizzlies. He may drive fans crazy with blown layups, bonehead shots and failed “And-1” impersonations. However, you can’t imagine the Grizzlies without him.

Tony Allen has been the starting shooting guard every year since their first playoff run in 2011. Recently, there’s been talk about a reduced role for the – lack of – shooting guard.

While he’s their best perimeter defender, his lack of shooting makes him a complete liability. In addition, his age is bound to catch up to him eventually.

Will he be the starting shooting guard for the Memphis Grizzlies next season?
