3 Summer League players who are justifying Grizzlies investment in their upside

The Memphis Grizzlies may have capped their 2023-24 campaign off on a rather low note after finishing with a record of 27-55 and missing out on the playoff for the first time in four seasons, but their Summer League squad has fortunately managed to play like a truly elite unit.

Through five games played in both Salt Lake City and Las Vegas during the festivities, headman Jason March has helped guide the club to a a 3-2 record and has seen an average point differential of +37 after securing back-to-back 20-point victories against the Sacramento Kings and Dallas Mavericks, respectively.

From their steady offensive attack to their absolutely menacing defensive play, the Grizzlies have been a ferocious force to be reckoned with on the hardwood and, among the players who have logged minutes during these offseason exhibitions, there are four, in particular, who have already proving the franchise worthy of having faith in their upside potential.

Grizzlies Player No. 1) Cam Spencer

Despite being the final player picked by the Grizzlies during this past June's NBA Draft, through this point of the Summer League Cam Spencer has proven himself to be the most consistently productive player compared to the two individuals selected ahead of him.

While suiting up for four of their five outings played, the UConn standout has impressed his teammates and coaching staff with his on-court talents and overall intensity, with the latter of which having guys like GG Jackson praise him for being a "f*cking dog."

Spencer is showcasing the sharpshooting prowess that made him a fixture within the Huskie's National Championship-winning rotation this past season, as he's posting 13.8 points on 57.9 percent shooting from the floor and 52.6 percent shooting from deep to go along with 4.0 boards, 3.8 assists, and 1.5 steals per night.

Displaying a solid mixture of shot creation and catch-and-shoot abilities, though he may just be attached to a two-way deal, as of this writing, the rookie guard appears to be playing his way toward matching the league's 50-game regular season limit with the varsity team that's allotted to talents attached to such a pact.
