26. Memphis Grizzlies

23 Seasons

Record: 759-1079, .413 W-L%

Finals Appearances: 0

Championships: 0

All-Time Starting Five

G: Mike Conley, 2016-17
G: Tony Allen, 2010-11

C: Marc Gasol, 2012-13

Average PER: 21.54

Grit and Grind lives on! At least, in theory. Tim Allen’s Jason Nesmith once said, “Never give up, never surrender,” and so the Grizzlies march on.

Coming off an abysmal, tank-infested year, the Grizzlies hope Conley and Gasol can spearhead one more conflict as they bring young guys like Dillion Brooks and Jaren Jackson Jr. into the fold.

Are the additions of Jackson Jr, Brooks, and Kyle Anderson enough to keep the Grizzlies above water? Or is it back into the depths for a franchise that has been treading most of its existence?
