2. Making a name outside of Memphis
All-Star weekend is the perfect time to showcase your talents outside of your city. Look at Zach LaVine or Aaron Gordon!
Everybody in Memphis loves Troy Daniels, but nobody outside of Grind City really knows him. This would give him an opportunity to show what he can on a national stage.
Remember when he dropped 22 points in one quarter? Yeah, no one that’s around Memphis probably doesn’t remember.
If Troy gives it go and makes it to the final round, or even wins it, this finally brings a spotlight that’s much-needed for Memphis.
Though the Grizzlies have made the playoffs for six straight years, the Grizzlies still don’t have the respect teams like the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Clippers, two other teams without recent championship success.
The three-point shootout will be the perfect time for Troy Daniels to show everyone that Memphis indeed has a shooter.
