one of the worst draft picks in NBA history’s stats in his debut:
14 points
15 rebounds (4 offensive)
7-12 from the field
4 blocks
game tying offensive rebound put back
they just be giving anybody mics now
@30TheChefCurry
sucks too cus MEM was about to 3peat
Edey was averaging 18/12/5 and shooting 39% from 3
Ja was averaging like 29/6/11
GG was averaging 21
Bane was shooting like 50/50/90 splits
and Vince was averaging 11/5/4 as a backup PG
just for some dumb shit to ruin a legendary sim 😭
this is one thing i won’t ever understand
Why did people bash Ja for this lmao wtf did they want him to say?? “I think we suck and everyone can beat us”
He’s literally just confident lmao the way he talks isn’t different at all from ANT
@boxbarryhearn
@30TheChefCurry
if it’s a career ending injury even if you remove the injury they still retire after the year
i forced him to be healthy but he still retired after that season
Scottie Pippen Jr
Marcus Smart
Vince Williams Jr
Jaren Jackson Jr
Zach Edey
Cason Wallace
Alex Caruso
Lu Dort
Jaylen Williams
Chet Holmgren
Kris Dunn
Terrance Mann
Derrick Jones Jr
Kawhi Leonard
Ivica Zubac
Minnesota
the west is a defensive bloodbath bro
When Ja came back, smart, Kennard, Adams, and Clarke were all still hurt, we were starting freaking Bismack Biyombo, and GG hadn’t been discovered yet
they still went 8-4, every team they played apart from Toronto were playoff teams
They will be fine next season lmao
dude the Santi jump is gonna happen this year, BOOKMARK THIS
and when it DOES happen things, are gonna get real uncomfortable for guys like Jaren if he’s still struggling to run the floor and get rebounds
@idcstfumaynee
Pls delete ts before the weirdos see it
The real app ratings are weird math lmao I’ve seen players with like 4 points have higher ratings then people with 30
@Okcthunder95219
What you fail to mention is that they replaced Tyus Jones with Marcus Smart, replaced Melton with Vince, and replaced Brooks with GG Jackson. All upgrades
Like at this point not believing their gonna be an amazing team is just ignorance
i just thought about this
what closing lineup will we run?
Ja, smart, bane, Jaren, Edey
Ja, Smart, Band, GG, Jaren
Ja, Bane, Vince, Jaren, Edey
Ja, Bane, Vince, GG, Jaren
i’m stumped
@HouseOfWiggs
Yall gotta stop wit ts. This was obviously a blocking foul it doesn't matter who initiated contact because Holmgren's feet werent set and he wasnt centered with embiid
Basketball is so much more enjoyable when you stop being insecure about players potentially being better than Ja Morant lmao
we’re witnessing generational performances and ik a lot of people are sick that ant is hooping because it threatens Ja
Stop and enjoy it. This is rare
I don’t see the Memphis grizzlies hype.
They’ll be a competitive team but not a top team in the west.
Losing guys like tyus jones, Dillion brooks, and De’anthony melton will be bigger than people think.
~50% FT shooter, somehow has a lower TS% than Ja Morant, is a terrible play finisher, would get played off the court 1000x worse than Steven Adams,
Literally just Bismack Biyombo but a better rebounder and worse defender
I don't get how people can't picture Capela as a good fit in Memphis. He adresses our rebounding needs as one of the best offensive rebounders in the league with an offensive rebounding% of 17.6% while having an defensive epm of +0.9 on one of the worst defenses in the league
@jackdaniels3313
@statmuse
no way your serious lmao what are they tanking for? This draft class sucks, and they already have what would have been the
#1
overall pick this year on their roster
Almost every single injury was legit except for like Lamar stevens and Brandon Clarke the last month of the year
Ja Morant
Desmond Bane
Vince Williams Jr
Jaren Jackson Jr
Zach Edey
Marcus Smart
Luke Kennard
GG Jackson
Santi Aldama
Brandon Clarke
Scottie pippen Jr
John Konchar
Jake LaRavia
Jaylen Wells
Trey Jemison (2-way)
Cam Spencer (2-way)
@BruhXeno
@Titanfan86
@phxsunz25
@DedicationHoops
how the actual fuck can you look at a bench of
Vince
Kennard
GG
Aldama
Clarke
and call it mid lmao that’s one of the best benches in the league
you need to reevaluate how u view the sport if that’s mid to you
@SityGirl50
@Rollitupk
Im a english speaking white mf and i spent half the summer in Montego Bay. Jus stay away from flankers, barret town, and especially Mt Salem
Man I’m sitting here thinking, who can genuinely stop Ja Morant? He’s most likely gonna have a middy next season which adds a whole extra layer to his game
@langleyatl
3. “Gone further in the playoffs”
The west is historically harder to play in than the East.
And while Trae “went further” Ja is arguably a top 6-7 playoff preformer itl
again spacing is ass and the floor shrinks, and he still gives u 27/78 in the offs lol
grizz starting Vince makes to much sense lmao it’s the perfect recipe
top 3 back court in the league, top 2 off. back court in the league
Ja
Bane
Best defensive front court in the league
Jaren
Edey
Elite role player, amazing POA defender in the middle
Vince Williams Jr
@BlakLvesMatter
Bane is not a
#1
option. We know this. So when you throw him into that situation, ofc hes gonna struggle. For the first time in his career, the other team is throwing EVERYTHING at him. Hes averaging almost 27 a game rn and will likely start being even BETTER post Ja return
@Okcthunder95219
since Vince started getting minutes (so garbage time games filtered), he averaged roughly 15/7/5 on great splits, splits that will only go UP playing with a fully healthy squad
and GG is GG there’s no explanation there lmao what
@Okcthunder95219
“yeah his splits won’t go up when he plays with a fully healthy team with an elite playmaker and doesn’t have entire opposing defenses scheming him!!” get the fuck outta here bro what 😭😭😭😭
Got bored and built this masterpiece lmao
our bench is Jalen Suggs, Isaiah Joe, Vince Williams Jr, GG Jackson, and andre Drummond
our third string lineup is Scottie pippen jr, Luke kennard, Dante exum, santi aldama, and Willy hernangomez
make me GM
@memgrizz
@khicks_21
@Outlandish_Take
Like if these fools fuck around draft Ron Holland, and get Jarret Allen they could legit run
Ja-bane-GG-Jaren Jackson-Allen
Vince- -Holland-Aldama-Clarke
Mfs can easily find a good backup SG in FA, and Aldama has good value and when paired with a pick can be upgraded
@Keith7484
@ForeignBobbie
@idcstfumaynee
I feel like it was more of a testament to skill levels being ridiculously high now in comparison to jordan era. Idk if this was a knock on jordan it was just saying that his skillset isnt as uncommon in today's league compared to 30 years ago
PG: Ja / Pippen Jr / D-Rose
SG: Smart / Luke Kennard
SF: Bane / GG Jackson
PF: JJJ / Santi Aldama
C: Edey / Brandon Clarke
Where will the Grizz finish in the West?
“6x league MVP and 6x NBA champion GG Jackson has announced his retirement from basketball. The 17x all star and future first ballot hall of famer played 20 seasons for the Memphis Grizzlies averaging 29/10/3. Jackson announced his retirement early Saturday morning.”
@theinternetgm
@HoopMixOnly
Hes one of the best playmakers in the LEAGUE. Hes recognized regularly by NBA greats but because his highlight reel is so amazing yall mfs forget hes a genuine basketball player.
Rondo was never a superstar.
@TwiceDann
@SkyedOKC
@30DubsOnTop
literally lmao
bane is a 25/5/5 caliber player who’s been a 21+ ppg scorer for the last four years and people act like he’s a 15 ppg catch and shoot role player
@ZoIethvy
@JOutnan
@chassking
@DGSEZN
@GOBBY779
are you talking about the season in which the Grizzlies had the most injured season in NBA history? That season?
that’s the same year Ja came back and they immediately went 7-3 with biyombo at center btw
use your brain brother
