Pre-Season NBA Power Rankings

211. <p>The Memphis Grizzles are likes a swarm of stinging insects. One will not harm you, but when they swarm on you, you will feel the pain.</p> <p>The Grizzlies roster is like that. No one player will knock you out, but they can all cause damage. Who do you double team when they are all equivalently dangerous?</p> <p>The Grizzlies are not a scoring threat from the perimeter, as they come in at 29 in three point shooting accuracy.  They also do not score points in bunches.  The Grizzlies play good fundamental basketball.</p> <p>The Grizzlies have two wildcards this season: Wade Baldwin IV and James Ennis.  If Ennis could stay healthy, he could flirt with 20 points per game,   If Balwin delivers, he could give Mike Conley some well deserved days off later in the season.</p> <p>This is a young team, and thanks to some sharp off-season moves, could be a very good young team.</p> <p><strong>Key Losses:</strong> Matt Barnes<br /> <strong>Key Gains:</strong>  Chandler Parsons, Wade Baldwin IV, James Ennis<br /> <strong>Key Statistic</strong>: Scoring<br /> <strong>NBA Power Rankings:</strong> 8th</p>.
