If you know anything about basketball, you can understand the glamour of being a starter. Starters are usually the best players on the team - they set the tone of the game, and almost always get more minutes than any other players on the roster. Zach Randolph was a starter, so he understands all of those things.
But now he’s not.
Memphis Grizzlies Head Coach David Fizdale decided early in the 2016 preseason that Zach Randolph would benefit this year’s team more by coming off the bench.
Based on the roster the team had pieced together, the change in style of play, and the addition of younger, faster players, it made sense to bring Randolph in as a reserve. But wait, coach! We’re talking about Zach Randolph, the 15-year veteran who’s spent most of his career bullying starters down low. Listen Fizdale, if you do this, you’re going to lose respect from not only him, but the city of Memphis.



Will ZBo's work from the bench earn him the Sixth Man of the Year?
