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

  Joe thinks Taylor Hendricks has done enough to make the roster but doesn't want him in the nightly rotation. He sees Hendricks as someone who can eat minutes when Post is out, Edey needs a night off, or Boozer is out.

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

  DeMichael agreed with Joe for when Stewart is healthy. If Stewart misses the season opener, he picks Taylor Hendricks as the 11th man. He likes Hendricks at his natural 4 for rim protection, next to Boozer with Post or Edey. He also mentioned Javon Small and Olivier-Maxence Prosper as possible options.

  Cole says Taylor Hendricks has flashed and Kris Murray (heard as "Chris Murray"; likely) is playing for opportunity. He hopes to see Micah Peavy (heard as "Michael Peavy"; likely) in practices this week.
