The Memphis Grizzlies have one of the more unique rosters in the league, with nearly every player from top to bottom being extremely young. This is highlighted by Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr., both of whom are only 21 years old.

A player that consistently gets lost in the mix, however, is De’Anthony Melton, who holds the team’s largest contract at a total of $35 million. Oddly enough, Melton receiving playing time hasn’t seemed to be a priority for Taylor Jenkins.
