Scotty Pippen Jr. had rich praise from LeBron James earlier this season

Earlier this season, Scotty Pippen's solid performance in the Grizzlies win over the LA Lakers at home saw rich praise coming from LeBron James:

"He’s been a pro. I knew it when he was with us and it’s unfortunate that he’s not anymore, but I’m happy for him."

Within 26 minutes, Scotty Pippen Jr went on to prop up 14 points coupled with six rebounds and four assists. James' sentiments were echoed by Pippen's Grizzlies teammate Zach Edey:

"He just does everything. He defends, facilitates, makes shots. He's elite. I don't understand why no one's given him a chance before, but we're glad that he fell into our team."

In the season so far, Pippen has averaged 17.1 points (on 62.8% true shooting), 5.9 rebounds, 9.1 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.6 blocks. He has also been effective, making 48% of his catch-and-shoot 3s.

Up next, Scotty Pippen Jr. and the Grizzlies head home for a three-game homestand with two games against the Denver Nuggets. They play the Philadelphia 76ers after that before a trip East to Chicago and return for another four games at home.
