Thank you to the NBA and Memphis Grizzlies for the rundown and complete schedule of the summer league.

This will be a prime opportunity for Grizz Nation to get an up-close look at Russ Smith and the development of Jarnell Stokes, Jordan Adams, and others. They are the Memphis Grizzlies’ future and after receiving limited minutes in the 2014-15 season, Grizz fans want to know what these guys will bring to the club in expanded roles.

The Orlando Summer League will also give fans a first look at the 2015 NBA Draft class. The Memphis Grizzlies own the No. 25 overall selection in this year’s Draft and may very well find a way to land a second round pick. With whatever happens, this league will be the first chance to see the newest crop of NBA players perform in the professional ranks.
