Ja Morant and the Grizzlies: Future dynasty in making?
The Grizzlies have slowly but steadily built a contender which will compete in Western Conference for years to come. Led by superstar point guard Ja Morant, they are an upcoming team built on solid foundations. They have drafted well in the past four drafts, often drafting players who exceed their draft status. They have a young coach and front office, which is willing to learn and take risks. This year was the one where the Grizzlies announced themselves to the league.
