Grizzlies vs Suns: Prediction

The Memphis Grizzlies have a very solid team with a couple of players who could make the team’s rotation next season. LaRavia, Roddy, Kenny Lofton Jr. and rookie G.G. Jackson will lead the Grizzlies again.

Memphis could only lose this game if the coaching staff will concentrate on giving more playing time to their untested players.

The Phoenix Suns, meanwhile, look a little out of sorts in their summer league campaign. Most of the players on the roster are not likely to make the team when the regular season starts.

Hunter Hale and rookies Grant Sherfield and Toumani Camara have been bright spots for the Suns. Phoenix will be looking to see them play well consistently.

Memphis Grizzlies vs. Phoenix Suns: Players to watch

The Memphis Grizzlies’ Jake LaRavia, Kenny Lofton Jr. and David Roddy have been a cut above the rest in the summer league. They’ve likely earned rotations in the team next season. The trio will once more be at the center of everything the Grizzlies will run.

Rookie G.G. Jackson has shown flashes of potential. He is averaging 9.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists in just 22 minutes per game.

The Phoenix Suns, on the other hand, have had solid games from rookies Toumani Camara and Grant Sherfield. Camara was the No. 52 pick in this draft while Sherfield went undrafted. They’re showing that they could be long-term options for the Suns that need more seasoning.

Phoenix is top-end heavy with Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal leading the way. They've also managed to get some quality free agents in the offseason. One of two from their summer league team might be needed in an 82-game schedule.
