if Ayton is the improved defender he's shown so far (and we hope he is), he will help close the lane this game. so many open drives last time.

Let's see if Ricky can stop Ja Morant in any way. He seems unstoppable right now. And prey they don't abuse us with 3 pointers when Monty decides to use the zone.

The zone has been use against Memphis a few times this year and it has stumped us almost every time.

I just look forward to some JJJ vs Ayton stretches.

Ayton will own JJJ as usual. Rubio has to slow down Ja and Book outplay Brooks, who was hot vs the Clippers.

64% from the field
44% from three
very good defense

Clarke is the main competitor to Ja Morant for the Rookie of the Year. The future is bright for the Grizzlies.

Morant play really bad against Rubio last time (except that clutch dunk he didnt do much else), let's see what happens this time.

Morant is amazing though. Having a better rookie year than Doncic.

Yeah we sure could use a Brandon Clarke-like player. Or a TJ Warren-like player for more spacing... :nonono: :-?
Whatever I guess. We still look good as far as the future is concerned.

Gonzaga is producing great bigs one after another. Olynyk, Sabonis, Zach Collins, Clarke. Hard to go wrong with drafting anyone from there.

Ayton vs JJJ is a pretty fun matchup. There were some real JJJ haters on this board that draft.

Memphis has the best looking future of any non playoff team. Even better than ours because of how badly McD **** up numerous drafts. Crazy considering they started their rebuild much later than we did.
