Both young cores seem to be similar, with a lead superstar guard, a 2-way guard/forward, and a floor-spacing rim protector. The Grizzlies’ core have had more playoff success (due to being around longer) and JJJ also already has a DPOY, but they’ve also got more potential concerns (namely Ja’s off-court behavior and some of JJJ’s struggles like rebounding)
The Grizzlies have been a top 3 seed the last 2 seasons, has everyone forgot about that or something?
I wouldn’t say everybody forgot that. More like everybody is intentionally trying to act like it didn’t happen.
