This week in Grizzlies talk

The shows spent the week breaking down Memphis's fresh start after the Ja Morant era. Cam Boozer is getting a lot of attention as a Rookie of the Year frontrunner and the face of the new franchise, with his passing ability standing out as a way to unlock guys like Zach Edey. There's some debate about the ceiling though, with one host seeing a play-in possibility if the team stays healthy while another is more skeptical, and predictions for wins ranged from 30 to 35.

Written by The Cutdown's reader from this week's clips.

6 clips · 31 min. Some clips only play in the app.

In this week's clips: Cameron Boozer, Jerami Grant, Zach Edey, Taylor Hendricks, GG Jackson, Quinten Post, Jaylen Wells, Cam Spencer.
