Grizz fans love it when Memphis is ignored. We literally don't want the attention. Memphis feeds off of disrespect and it manifests itself on the court.
That makes a ton of sense, I can relate as a 76ers fan, our fan base can get toxic under certain circumstances and it can also be counterproductive at times 🙏🏻
Great video. I think everybody's criticisms of Eady are overblown... he performed better and faster than Clingan at nearly all exercises at the combine... That aside, he is a frighteningly fast learner and was simply playing the role his coach wanted him to at Purdue for their system. He has clearly shown an ability to adapt and improve frighteningly fast, which in my opinion means that come 1st game of the season wont be too long before Eady is fully in the grizz "system". Just food for thought.
I just pray to God its not another injury riddled season for Memphis. Super talented team hopefully the injury bug doesn't hit them bc they definitely are not only an exciting team but they can literally contend especially if edey comes in and performs well. They dont even need edey to be special just do his job. If ja has learned his lesson for good and the injuries don't affect them their definitely dangerous
GG Jackson would've been an easy top 3 pick if he declared for the draft this past year... he's still younger than exactly HALF of the first round picks in the 2024 draft.
If Purdue fans learned anything from Edey is that any criticism you have with his game he’ll work to turn it into a strength. He got stronger and quicker throughout college and really developed his stamina his senior year. He was a two time NPOY for a reason. Really reliable and productive scorer (also he was 2x all big ten defense; he affects a lot of shots)
This team was the #2 seed in the west the two seasons before last years before l/l injury fest. No expectations this year. Why not, Edney will be better than Adam’s ( yes he will) Smart is as good as Dillion. Then add in GG and Williams.
Man, Memphis are the biggest robbers of all. They just stole the soon to be ROTY with the No.9 pick plus also stole a future MVP with the 45th pick from last years draft in GG Jackson. That might be a stretch, but he's going to be a Superstar regardless an with Ja, Des, Jaren, Smart an the rest of the Grizzlies this team is legit a Dangerous Squad.
Makes sense since there is a lot of stealing and robbing going on in Memphis and a dangerous squad in one the most dangerous cities in the country so what you wrote makes perfect sense!
we have two former dpoy plus adding edey!? defense wins championships and we have 3 potential dpoys at any point on the floor bruh! & if Clark gets healthy it's gonna be scary
Yeah I can relate to having seasons ruined by injuries as a 76ers fan, it’s the worst part of sports! Fingers crossed for a healthy Memphis season 🙏🏻🤞🏻
Jackson drafted in 2018, Morant in 2019, and Bane in 2020. I dont know the number but the number of minutes the 3 have played together I feel is pretty low considering the number of seasons they have been together. I think they can be great and would be more developed playing together if they could get the consistent time on court together. Stay healthy and out of trouble. Do that and I feel like there is no ceiling to what this team could accomplish.
Wow that’s interesting and definitely true, haven’t considered how one of them always seems to be out at any given time which could definitely affect their development and long term chemistry! 🙏🏻
Thanks so much for the support man! I appreciate you, glad you enjoyed the video! I’m glad you thought it was good, the best compliment I can get is from a fan of the team I’m covering, usually means I did okay because nobody knows more about a team than it’s fan base! So that definitely is a confidence boost! And definitely, I’m so unbelievably excited for my Sixers! I will say there is still work to be done to fill out this roster but I can’t be greedy, I gotta take what good news I can get as a fan of this team 😂 thanks so much again, you’re a legend 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@DeHave Now with Martin who did his thing against Boston in previous years. 76ers looking legit. I wish they kept Melton though, I thought he was a nice defensive combo guard.
That’s a great point! Making a video about that tomorrow actually! Yeah I love the Martin signing and I know, I’m with you there, Melton was one of my favorite Sixers of recent, love his skillset and I’m sure as a Memphis fan you would know how good he can be! Also seems like a guy that loves the game, always smiling lol you can never have enough of those players! Also don’t know if you’re interested but stay tuned tonight because probably within an hour or so I’m uploading a video about how great the Western Conference is going to be next season and i talk about the Grizzlies and the amazing response from their fans like you on this videos comments section. You guys have been so awesome! I touch on it towards the end of the video tonight, like I said if you’re interested! Thanks so much 🙏🏻
lol I really appreciate that! Love to hear stuff like that, not sure if you’re a Grizzlies fan but the response on this video from the fan base has been so positive and amazing. This was basically my first Grizzlies video and the fan base makes me want to keep making them so you might be on to something 🙏🏻
It's more about how Steven Adams and Jonas Valaciunas never averaged more than 28mpg on the Grizzlies. They close with Brandon Clarke and JJJ at the 4 and 5 spots.
@@ohishwaddup right, but they never really had that to begin with. Those two were never super high usage players which shows more of the player’s actual level of conditioning. And trust me, if they can avoid having JJJ at the 5, they will
@@ncleake I'm not denying Edey's superhuman conditioning just the idea he'll steal BC's minutes. He'll have to be better than Steven Adams or JV as a rookie. And BC plays the 5 in him and JJJ's minutes together so whether the team wants JJJ at the 5 is irrelevant.
Triple J a 3rd or 4th option?!? Huh? Jaren Jackson is an elite nba player and annihilates most 2nd option players on the good teams. That was a whack take?
@@denniscoleman6753 what? You think Jaren is the 4th best grizzly? Who are the 3 in front of him? That shit is ridiculous! 😂 I’d like to hear the 2’s ahead of Jaren. Denver-Murray?!?!, T. Wolves-KAT okay, Denver-- Kyrie, offensively yes, defensively not even close. Golden state- Draymond?!? Klay?! (Before traded), Wiggins? Jaren much more valuable than all of them. Go down the list, Jaren is much more valuable than many #2s, let alone ridiculous to say #3s. Dude is
Interesting, wasn’t aware his rotations were off! This is kinda insight I could only get from a Grizzlies fan and I really appreciate you for that, thank you 🙏🏻
Not sure Cousins will ever play in the NBA again unfortunately for all us fans. He was so great and talented and I think he’d been drafted 5 years ago by a different team his career could’ve been wayyyy different in a positive way. His skillset is so modern NBA it’s insane, maybe I’ll make a video about that lol
Problem with Grizz is Ja morant plays about 60-70 games a season, he is injury prone. I watch all the Grizzles games. So his availability always affects the team. Second Jaren Jackson is prone to foul trouble. 3rd is Ja Morant. This guy got suspended 2 times already. A 3rd time maybe? People quickly forget his antics the last 2 years. Mind you Marcus Smart is also injury prone. The Grizz half court offense sucks by the way. The problem is they don't have a legit mid range player and they don't have enough 3pt snipers. They drafted 2 shooters in the draft so lets hope they pan out. Edy I think is going to be a 12pt 10reb 2blk kinda guy. I hope Grizz keep Lenard 3pt shooting. Next year Grizz season will be a testing year for them. Don't think they are ready for winning the chip yet. Its easy to dream big here, but lets be real now, they not ready until they shown they win about 60+ games, then lets make them a contender. Most championship teams win 60+ games.
@@johamilton1664 They have Joker! Joker is better than Ja Morant. Joker is the most efficient player in NBA. Plus Denver is more mature. Grizz are too young inexperienced.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support, and i appreciate the feedback! I actually didn’t know that so thanks again for the info, I always love to learn 🙏🏻🔥
They do not have the same team from two years ago. They are missing the toughness from Dillion Brooks and Steven Adams. They are going to be bullied in the paint. By the way, Rockets have both of them on their team….the Rockets are better than Memphis…can’t wait
Pretty solid take. The part I'd take issue with is how you look at Edey. It's really the same issue I have with most takes on the guy: everyone is like "Well, I dunno if how he's going to be on defense; that could be a liability." The question isn't so much will he be able to defend other people, it's really about whether or not they can defend him. I just don't really think there are too many centers in the NBA who won't get bullied by him. Clingan was considered the best defender at the 5 in that draft class and it was like he wasn't even there in that championship game. On the flip side, Edey had no problem shutting Clingan down.
Happy 4th of July! 🎇🎆 Don’t sleep on Memphis 🐻
Memphis drafted the NBA Rookie of the Year in a steal with the ninth pick in the draft and you don’t even know it yet.
I hope you’re right, I’m rooting for him! 🙏🏻
I agree

Agreed, many teams will be caught off guard by Memphis.
100%, glad you agree 🙏🏻
Not a Grizzlies fan. Any western team beat up on the Nuggets will be good to see.
GG Jackson would've been an easy top 3 pick if he declared for the draft this past year... he's still younger than exactly HALF of the first round picks in the 2024 draft.
G G is the steal.
Agreed, legit offensive star potential! 🙏🏻
He could definitely be a future All-star.
Totally agree 🔥🔥
