Discussion: Grizzlies Potential 10-man Rotation Part 2



I posted [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/memphisgrizzlies/comments/vlgpo2/discussion_grizzlies_potentail_10man_rotation/) after FA and prior to Summer League (also just realized I previously spelt Potential wrong fml).

Here is the ten-man lineup from last night – [Current Ten-Man Lineup](https://imgur.com/a/u8Ta5B0)

I know it is only pre-season but if you watched previous years the first pre-season game (not counting when the starters sit) is usually how Jenkins goes into the season. We have seen this in previous years with Grayson starting or even Bane/Melton minutes last year.

The only thing that seems to have changed, between FA and now, is that Aldama is now solidly in the rotation and presumably starting until JJJ gets back. At that point I am not sure if LaRavia will be in the lineup.

From what it looks like it will be

PG: Ja/Tyus SG: Bane/Ziaire SF: Brooks/Konchar PF: Aldama/LaRavia C: Adams/Clarke

Then when everyone is healthy:

PG: Ja/Tyus SG: Bane/Ziaire SF: Brooks/Konchar PF: JJJ/Aldams C: Adams/Clarke – with LaRavia as the 11th man and Roddy/Chandler/Tillman out of the rotation and Danny Green as the 15th man. This is obviously not set in stone (JJJ will play minutes at the 5 and Konchar at the 2, etc.) but I do not currently see many minutes for the rookies.

All the rookies should play eventually, due to injuries and blowouts mostly, but looking at it now drafting 3 (really 4) rookies, and not consolidating, was an interesting decision.

What does everyone think?

  1. Oh I guess Tyus was not on the original lineup 3m ago. He sure is now!
