The Grizzlies enter the 2024-25 season with plenty of uncertainty following last year’s challenges. Ja Morant missed significant time due to suspension and injury, while the team struggled to fill the void, finishing with just 27 wins. However, the silver lining came from young players like GG Jackson, who made an immediate impact in his rookie season, and Vince Williams, showing future rotational potential.
Zach Edey, the No. 9 pick in the draft, represents a fascinating addition. The 7-foot-4 Purdue star was dominant in college but faces questions about his fit in the modern NBA due to his size and foot speed. The Grizzlies are banking on their player development to integrate him into the lineup. They also brought in Jaylen Wells and Cam Spencer from the draft to bolster their depth, while Luke Kennard was re-signed to keep the bench scoring intact.
The spotlight is now on Morant as he returns with something to prove. Desmond Bane, who emerged as a top scoring option in Morant’s absence, will continue to be a major piece alongside Marcus Smart, whose leadership and defense will be crucial this season. Jaren Jackson Jr., fresh off a Defensive Player of the Year campaign, will need to anchor the defense again while also expanding his offensive game.
Memphis has the potential to reclaim its spot among the Western Conference contenders, with +1500 odds to win the conference on DraftKings Sportsbook and +4000 to win the NBA Finals. However, they’ll need strong contributions from their young core and a quick integration of Edey to fill the void left by former center Steven Adams. If Morant can return to his All-Star form, the Grizzlies could be poised for a deep playoff run.
