NBA 2018-19 Season Preview: Memphis Grizzlies

Opportunities and Threats

A lineup of Conley, Anderson, Casspi, Jackson Jr and Gasol would be full of above-average shooters who can defend multiple positions on the floor during stretches of a game

The Grizzlies have the opportunity to run a lineup that is physically the opposite of the Miami Heat's Death Lineup during the Big 3 era, but with essentially the same roles assigned to players from positions 1 through 5.

A lineup of Conley, Anderson, Casspi, Jackson Jr and Gasol would be full of above-average shooters who can defend multiple positions on the floor during stretches of a game.

If Jackson Jr, however, does not live up to his pre-draft billing, new head coach Bickerstaff will be torn between whether to develop him this season at the cost of a few wins, or whether to insert JaMychal Green into the starting lineup.

It will be interesting to see how the minutes are distributed between the Grizzlies' frontcourt players through the course of the season.

Conley has only played over 70 games of the season once in the past four years, and his health will directly affect their win-loss column.
