Are the Memphis Grizzlies ready to compete with playoff-level teams?
Memphis Grizzlies basketball won’t be back until Jaren Jackson Jr. returns
As I’ve said, this team is almost there. They’re extremely competitive in games against strong NBA teams, but they just haven’t seemed to put it all together yet.

Yes, it may take him a while to settle in, but once he shakes the rust off, he could elevate this team to the next level. With JJJ, this team could be as competitive as anybody in a tough Western Conference.
Considering the success that this squad has seen without him, the Grizzlies should be beating anybody in the league upon his return. That being said, it’s not that simple.

In all likelihood, this team’s lack of experience will catch up to them, but we can rest easy knowing that the Grizz have a chance in any game, series, or matchup, even with the second-youngest roster in the league.
