With the NBA pessimistic about the return to the regular season, it’s time to take a look back and see how some Memphis Grizzlies players performed during the season.
The NBA world got a sucker punch yesterday, as ESPN’S Brian Windhorst reported that the league was expressing a “significant amount of pessimism” about resuming the season, due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
With it being likely that the Memphis Grizzlies, as well as all the other teams in the league, have played their final game of the 2019-2020 season, questions about how well each player performed begin to crop up.
As a team, the Grizzlies far exceeded expectations. Vegas and ESPN both predicted that they would only win about 26 games, but at the time of the season suspension, the Grizzlies had a fairly comfortable lead for the eighth seed in the Western Conference.

Still, there were moments where questions certainly arose surrounding the play of the team as a whole, and the production of players on the team.
With the NBA season likely over, how well did individual players perform, and who has areas for improvement going into the 2020-2021 season?
