• Podcast Locked On Grizzlies host · Prediction · Oct 16

  Host prediction, hedged with "potentially": Ty Jerome, Pippen (heard as "Scotty Pippen Jr."; likely Scotty Pippen Jr.) and Edey (heard as "Zach Eadie"; likely Zach Edey) may play in the Hornets finale through the third quarter.

• Podcast Locked On Grizzlies host · Prediction · Oct 16

  Ty Jerome and Cam Spencer have not played together in preseason, and the host predicts they won't share the floor much.

• Podcast Locked On top 100 list (reported), via Locked On Grizzlies · Relayed report · Oct 16

  On Locked On's top-100 player list, Ty Jerome ranked 91, Coward (heard as "Cedric Howard"; likely Cedric Coward) 92 and Edey (heard as "Zach Eadie"; likely Zach Edey) 93. No other Grizzlies made the list.

• Podcast Locked On Grizzlies host · Analysis · Oct 16

  Host's view of individual defenders: Boozer (likely Cameron Boozer) is an excellent positional defender, Coward (heard as "Cedric Howard"; likely Cedric Coward) has to grow on that end, and Ty Jerome "is what he is" defensively.

• Podcast Locked On Grizzlies host · Analysis · Oct 16

  Host analysis of shooting: Ty Jerome is a versatile shooter (off-platform, spot-up, off pick-and-roll). Cam Spencer is more of a spot-up, transition, one-dribble shooter with less variety in how he gets his shots.

• Podcast Joe Mullinax, Locked On Grizzlies · Analysis · Oct 15

  Host lists defensive reads Coward (heard as "Cedric Howard") needs: knowing where Edey (heard as "Zach Eady"; likely Zach Edey) is for weak-side help, where hedges come from, and getting into passing lanes when opponents try to pick on Ty Jerome.

• Podcast Joe Mullinax, Locked On Grizzlies · Opinion · Oct 15

  Host doesn't need Coward to initiate offense, since the Grizzlies have multiple initiators. He wants Coward to make shots and make a defensive leap that helps Ty Jerome and Cameron Boozer on offense.

• Podcast Joe Mullinax, Locked On Grizzlies · Analysis · Oct 15

  Host says Zach Edey (heard as "Zach Aidy"), Cam Boozer and Ty Jerome won't be enough to reach the play-in. The team needs production from a wing.

• Podcast Joe Mullinax, Locked On Grizzlies · Prediction · Oct 14

  Both hosts agreed on this projected opening-night starting five: Cedric Coward (heard as "Cedric Howard"), Ty Jerome, Jaylen Wells (heard as "Jalen Wells"), Cameron Boozer and Zach Edey (heard as "Zach Eady"). They framed it as what they believe, not as an announced lineup.

• Podcast DaMichael Cole, Locked On Grizzlies · Analysis · Oct 14

  How DeMichael sees the bench players pairing with the starters: Spencer matches Jerome as a three-point shooter who plays on and off the ball. Pippen Jr. (heard as "Pittman Jr.") matches Wells as a point-of-attack defender and spot-up shooter, and adds playmaking. Jackson and Grant are jumbo wings who can score. Post protects the rim and can pick and pop.

• Podcast DaMichael Cole, Locked On Grizzlies · Analysis · Oct 14

  DeMichael referred to wholesale substitutions about four minutes into games, swapping Jerome and Wells for Spencer and Pippen Jr. He said the drop-off wouldn't be big, so fans and media might complain less about it.

• Podcast DaMichael Cole, Locked On Grizzlies · Analysis · Oct 14

  DeMichael said the team stresses a collective approach that gets everyone involved in actions. With many players capable of offensive flashes (Ty Jerome, Cam Boozer, Cedric Coward (heard as "Cedric Coward"), Scotty Pippen Jr., Cam Spencer), he thinks they will be hard to game-plan against.

• Podcast DaMichael Cole, Locked On Grizzlies · Analysis · Oct 13

  DeMichael Cole says that, to his understanding, Ty Jerome is not extension eligible until next summer, which is why nobody is discussing an extension now.

• Podcast DaMichael Cole, Locked On Grizzlies · Prediction · Oct 13

  DeMichael predicts that if Jerome is playing really good basketball going into February, he will decline his player option. He says the Grizzlies will have to weigh whether to trade him in February.

• Podcast DaMichael Cole, Locked On Grizzlies · Analysis · Oct 13

  DeMichael says the team has many player-option decisions, naming Isaiah Stewart, Quinten Post (heard as 'Quentin Post'; likely Quinten Post) and Ty Jerome. He says space could reach '60, 70 million', enough to chase 'two big fish'.

• Podcast Joe Mullinax, Locked On Grizzlies · Opinion · Oct 13

  Joe says Jerome clearly thrives in coach Iisalo's system (heard as 'Isolo's'; likely Tuomas Iisalo), even in a small sample. He adds that apart from Jerome and Cam Boozer (likely Cameron Boozer), no one on the roster can get their own shot.

• Podcast DaMichael Cole, Locked On Grizzlies · Prediction · Oct 13

  DeMichael doesn't see Jerome getting less than $25M a year on a three-year deal if he keeps playing at his current level. He says a three-year, $60M deal would be a win for the Grizzlies.

• Podcast DaMichael Cole, Locked On Grizzlies · Opinion · Oct 13

  DeMichael says the team will be positioned to go star hunting. He isn't sure, at least not right now, that he would extend Jerome as the starting point guard of the future.

• Podcast Joe Mullinax, Locked On Grizzlies · Opinion · Oct 13

  Joe says he would not give Jerome that contract. He would only go above and beyond for Zach Edey (heard as 'zach edy'), Cam Boozer, or Cedric Coward, though he notes Coward's standing 'might be fading for some'.

• Podcast Joe Mullinax, Locked On Grizzlies · Prediction · Oct 13

  Joe thinks it's more likely that Jerome outplays his deal and that the Grizzlies, while in the play-in hunt, trade him to a contender for a first- and a second-round pick.

• Podcast DaMichael Cole, Locked On Grizzlies · Prediction · Oct 13

  DeMichael is 'pretty high' in confidence that, assuming health, the opening-night starters will be Ty Jerome, Jaylen Wells (heard as 'Jalen Wells'), Cedric Coward, Cam Boozer and Zach Edey (heard as 'Eadie'). He calls a change unlikely at this point.

• Podcast Tuomas Iisalo (reported), via Locked On Grizzlies · Relayed report · Oct 13

  DeMichael relays that coach Iisalo (heard as 'Tawancisolo'; likely Tuomas Iisalo) has said the one and the five are the two most important positions. DeMichael adds that Jerome has solidified himself as the starting point guard and that both spots are locked down.

• Podcast Locked On Grizzlies host · Report · Oct 12

  Against Chicago, Ty Jerome scored efficiently with 4 assists and 0 turnovers. The co-host thinks he had 16 points, and he played only the first half.

• Podcast Joe Mullinax, Locked On Grizzlies · Opinion · Oct 12

  Joe's opinion: Boozer and Jerome were Memphis's two best players against Chicago and look like starters who will be big contributors.

• Podcast DaMichael Cole, Locked On Grizzlies · Report · Oct 12

  The starting lineup has stayed the same through the preseason: Jaylen Wells (heard as "Jalen Wells"), Cedric Coward (heard as "Cedric Carroll"; likely), Ty Jerome, Cameron Boozer and Zach Edey (heard as "Zach Keady"; likely). Cole had suggested trying other lineups, but the team stuck with this one.
