The Grizzlies’ backcourt is one of the best for sure. The No.2 overall pick behind Zion Williamson declared that he and Desmond Bane formed the best backcourt in the NBA. They have been quite lethal. His claims can’t be dismissed at any point. The duo has combined an average of 50.7 points. They have been the primary reason for their winning streak.
