Memphis Grizzlies Roundtable: 4 possible changes to the starting lineup
No. 3: Move Tyreke Evans to the starting 5
The Grizzlies have a solid lineup that can get stops defensively and attack the basket on offense. The problem is perimeter shooting.
They need their core of Conley and Gasol to step up. These two not only need to score inside and from mid-range, but they also need to get back to shooting from deep.

This could be a problem since Conley has achilles issues. He struggled to score in previous games. Now might be a good time to rest Conley and let someone else take the lead for now.
JaMychal Green needs to get healthy, so they can add a scoring and rebounding punch. Plus, get Jarrell Martin out of the starting lineup. He’s better off as a role player than a starter.
Evans needs to start too. His 20-points-a-night is exactly what the Grizzlies need to get wins.
If Conley sits, they should start Tyreke at point, Brooks and Selden on the wings and Green and Gasol down low.
If Conley plays, they should keep the same starting five, but replace Ennis with Evans. — Elbert Hubbard Jr. (@elbertjunior901)
