5 Players The Memphis Grizzlies Can Build Around For The Future
By Chris Kern
The Memphis Grizzlies are a team full of veterans but they do still have a few young players that they can build this team around going forward.
The Memphis Grizzlies had a good run with their last group of core players. The majority of them are gone but the two stars in Mike Conley and Marc Gasol are still on the team.
Conley joined the team during the 2007-08 season while Gasol joined the following season and they led this franchise to a lot of success.
They had a few notable moments that all Grizzlies fans will remember such as upset over the 1st seeded San Antonio Spurs in the 2011 playoffs.
That was the Grizzlies first playoff win and they were able to get within a game of the Western Conference Finals as an eight seed.

They would eventually get to the Western Conference Finals during the 2013 playoffs where they got swept by the Spurs.
They had made seven straight playoff appearances prior to last season and even though they never made a legit run at a championship, it was still a very successful run for this core.
The Grizzlies made this city fall in love with their team and they’re excited for the next core of young players.
This city wants a championship and though that seems far off at the moment a lot will change in a few years but here are five players that Memphis can build around for the future.
