Player Evaluation

Despite injuries in to his Achilles and lower vertebrae in two straight seasons, Mike Conley has been nothing but superb. The Achilles ended his 2016 season, but he returned from a broken back in less than one month. GRIND.

Conley has realized he is a star for this team and there is no doubt he is playing the best basketball of his life.

He has upped his offense, averaging a career high 19.3 points, but quarterbacks this new Grizzlies offense with ease.

To put it simply, he has played at an all-star level. And just maybe – if Mike doesn’t suffer a back injury this season, he’d have been elected to his first all star game.

GRADE:

A- (but only cause his floaters suck)

JK Mike.. kinda
