Memphis Grizzlies duds vs Milwaukee Bucks

John Konchar

This was one of John Konchar’s worst games of the season. His impact was not just minimal but his presence on the court was detrimental to the team whenever he was out there.

In the 20 minutes that he played, Konchar recorded a plus/minus line of -20, which was the lowest out of any Memphis player. Along with his negative impact in the game, he only finished with six points and seven rebounds on 37 percent shooting from the field.

Konchar has been one of the biggest bright spots for Memphis this season, however, he was arguably the biggest lowlight on the team against the Bucks.

Steven Adams

Offense isn’t the main thing Steven Adams brings to the table, but his play on Wednesday night was below his standards of what he can contribute. The nine-year pro has been the recipient of beautiful Ja Morant dimes the entire season but wasn’t able to convert on the opportunities he had.

Adams finished with just four points on 2-8 shooting from the field. Adams isn’t expected to give double-digits points every game but his efficiency was definitely an area of concern, especially considering that Adams’ shooting percentages are ahead of the 50 percentile range. Combine that with the fact he went 0-4 from the free-throw line it highlights how much of an offensive liability Adams was.
