The 2017-18 was definitely one worth forgetting, but the Memphis Grizzlies should certainly consider utilizing one of last season’s key cogs in their current starting lineup.
That important piece is swingman Dillon Brooks — the 2017 second round Draft pick that worked his way into the Grizzlies’ starting lineup last season and never gave it up from there.
Against all odds, Brooks started in 74 games while appearing in all of Memphis’ 82 regular season contests. The more he played, the better he became. It was no surprise to see him represent the Memphis Grizzlies in the NBA’s annual rookie and sophomore game during NBA All-Star Weekend.
