Memphis Grizzlies v Atlanta Hawks
The Conley-Gasol pick-and-roll combo will probably be the bread and butter of the Grizzlies' offense

The obvious strengths of the roster stay rooted to their mainstays over the past decade - point guard Mike Conley and center Marc Gasol.

Both are All-Star caliber players who belong to the realms of the most underrated and overlooked stars in the league. Conley, in particular, has had a particularly rough deal of it considering he's never made an All-Star team due to being in a historically loaded Western Conference.

The Conley-Gasol pick-and-roll combo will probably be the bread and butter of the Grizzlies' offense, while the two are still the team's best defenders as well.

The likes of Kyle Anderson and Omri Casspi are shrewd professionals who can buy buckets for themselves, but also play within the confines of a system without demanding touches.

Jaren Jackson figures as a starter only at the power forward position as of now (and even that may depend on whether he outperforms JaMychal Green during training camp), but he can anchor the paint as a center as well while providing them a second option as a stretch 5 within the roster.
