Memphis Grizzlies: 3 players who could emerge as sixth man 2021-22

Next season’s starting lineup for the Memphis Grizzlies seems to be locked in, barring any major trades.

We’ve looked at some lineup combinations that will be exciting to watch and some different ways Ziaire Williams could crack the starting lineup in his rookie campaign for the Grizzlies.

We now turn our attention to the sixth man. Who is expected to be the first player Coach Taylor Jenkins calls off the bench in 2021-22?

The Memphis Grizzlies have depth at every position, which doesn’t make figuring out the rotation any easier

The Memphis Grizzlies are a team with the luxury of having depth at every position. Luckily, the team is comprised of unselfish players that are willing and able to contribute in whatever way helps the team succeed, which makes Jenkins’ job a little bit easier.

There are several options at the coach’s disposal and whoever comes off the bench first, will likely be a situational, game-by-game decision.

In terms of the regular rotation and managing minutes, there should be a fairly regular rotation set in place to help keep players fresh and healthy. Let’s look at who might be the first man off the bench next season to get into any given game.
