10. Jason Williams

Jason Williams was one of the flashiest players in the league, something that you don’t often see in the city of Memphis. He was arguably the best passer in the history of this franchise and a solid scorer as well. If he had spent more than four years with the Grizzlies, he may have found himself higher on this list.

9. Mike Miller

Mike Miller is probably best remembered for his time with the Miami Heat. But before that, Miller was one of the greatest scorers that we’ve seen on this team. He scored over 13 points per game in every season that he was with Memphis, dropping over 18 per game in 2006-2007. He’s still remembered as one of the best shooters in the league.

8. Rudy Gay

Rudy Gay is another guy who is a prototypical Grizzlies player. He was never named among the best players in the league, but did everything right that can’t be quantified. He was a great defender alongside Tony Allen, a guy that we’ll talk about later in this list.

7. Ja Morant

I wasn’t completely sure where I should place Ja Morant on this list or if he should even appear at all. Morant is a lethal scorer, explosive athlete, and strong passer. Barring any sort of injury disaster or unexpected trade, Morant is on track to finish his career as the greatest Grizzly of all time. Even if he doesn’t belong on this list now, he will soon.
