3 Grizzlies assets that must be shopped on trade market

2. Luke Kennard

Recently, reports came out stating that opposing teams "are keeping an eye on" Luke Kennard's availability "amid Memphis’ early season woes", and, considering his track record of being a scorched earth shooter from deep, it's easy to see why this is.

For his career, the 27-year-old boasts a long-range shooting clip of 43.5 percent and from 2019-20 through 2022-23 he converted on a whopping 45.1 percent of such attempts while averaging 10.6 points throughout this stretch.

Even this year, despite a lackluster start that saw him miss 15 of his first 17 three-point attempts, over his last four full outings Kennard managed to work his way out of his early-season slump by posting 13.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 2.0 assists while shooting a stellar 56.3 percent from the floor and 57.7 percent from deep.

Unfortunately, this breakout was short lived as he was forced out early during a November 14 bout against the Los Angeles Lakers due to a knee injury and has been sidelined ever since.

Still, this seemingly hasn't impacted the interest level of other teams in possibly pursuing his services, and, considering he's expected to return within the next two to three weeks his value is only bound to go up with time.

Of course, the Grizzlies have faired incredibly poor in the shooting department since his injury, as they rank dead last in both field goal and three-point percentage during this stretch, so they may not wish to be too eager to part ways with him any time soon.

Having said that, with the fact that teams are already reported as being interested in pursuing him, seeing what they may be able to bring back in exchange shouldn't be shied away from.
