  • DaMichael Cole: DeMichael named five bench players he sees as virtual rotation locks: Scotty Pippen Jr., Cam Spencer, GG Jackson, Jerami Grant and Quinten Post. He tied Post's spot to Isaiah Stewart's injury. Joe agreed with these 10 (starters plus these five). at 15:04
  • DaMichael Cole: 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. 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. at 16:50
  • DaMichael Cole: DeMichael said the Grizzlies have often converted two-way players to guaranteed deals, usually in the middle of the season. He cited Scotty Pippen Jr., GG Jackson, Olivier-Maxence Prosper, Cam Spencer ("I believe") and Jay Huff, and said Small will need to take advantage soon. at 30:41
