Brendan Smart (@bsmart21): Wayne Ellington (Miami Heat)

It should come as no surprise that the Memphis Grizzlies need shooting, and while Wayne Ellington is not the most intriguing guy on the list, he would be best with this team right now.

Ellington, coming off of a season where he shot 39% from three-point range for the Miami Heat, broke the Heat’s three-point record earlier in April for his team.

Wayne is known to many Grizzlies fans as “that guy that went off on LeBron James and the Miami Heat.” Back in 2012, Ellington nailed seven three-pointers to lead the Grizzlies over the Heat’s Big Three in Memphis.

I could see a lineup of Conley, Ellington, Parsons, future Draft pick, and Gasol. It would be awesome to bring back Wayne Ellington.
