Memphis Grizzlies duds vs Chicago Bulls Jan. 17

Ziaire Williams

There were not many things to pick at in the big win, but Ziaire Williams struggled in the game against the Bulls.

Williams had his worst outing since Nov. 26 vs Atlanta. He recorded just 2 points and 3 rebounds in just 18 minutes of action.

The rookie has been playing terrific as of late, but he was unable to find his groove against Chicago. He was 0-4 from the field, scoring on his two free throw attempts.

Santi Aldama

The other Grizzlies rookie got some garbage time minutes late in the game, playing in the final 4-5 minutes. He was basically non-existent out there, recording zero stats. He was 0-1 with 0 assists, 0 rebounds.

Now that the team is close to full strength, he’s going to have to make the most of his time on the court.
