Randolph was an All-Star in 2010 and 2013 while also helping the Grizzlies make seven straight postseason appearances.
He led the team to the Western Conference Finals in 2013 but they fell to the San Antonio Spurs. He left Memphis last season third in points scored, first in rebounds, seventh in assists, sixth in steals, and third in minutes played.
Honorable Mention: Forward – Shane Battier
Shane Battier had his best season offensive in his rookie year with the Grizzlies. He became a more prominent defender in his five-year stint in Memphis.
He was one of the first true three-and-D players of the modern NBA. His tenure with the Grizzlies helped him develop into one of the best role players in NBA history.
