The Memphis Grizzlies did not have a lot of cap room this offseason, and no one really expected the team to do much with the remaining cap space, but they did. Memphis brought in some good talent, that you will want to see in person.

For starters, Memphis’ two rookies are going to be a must watch. Jaren Jackson Jr., and Jevon Carter are going to play big minutes for Memphis this upcoming season, and if you watched Summer League, you will know that these two guys are kind of good.
