The Memphis Grizzlies are rolling out a starting five on Wednesday that sounds less like an NBA rotation and more like a randomly generated Summer League roster.
According to Underdog NBA, Memphis is officially starting Tyrese Jerome, Jaylen Coward, Jaylin Wells, Cameron Boozer, and Zach Edey.
"Underdog NBA reported the lineup alert: Grizzlies will start Jerome, Coward, Wells, Boozer, Edey on Wednesday."
If you are holding a ticket on any standard Grizzlies player props, you might want to check the fine print. Ja Morant is nowhere to be found in this opening unit, meaning the offensive usage is about to be distributed in ways that defy traditional basketball logic.
Memphis has been playing completely unhinged basketball over the last week. They just dropped a 135-134 shootout to the New Orleans Pelicans, which immediately followed a 136-105 blowout win over the Sacramento Kings.
Now, they are handing the keys to a massive frontcourt of Boozer and Edey, flanked by a collection of young wings who are suddenly getting starter minutes.
The real wild card here is Jerome. He is recently coming off a performance where he dropped 26 points and eight assists before getting tossed with double technical fouls. Giving him the green light alongside this young core is the exact kind of chaotic energy that makes League Pass worth the subscription fee.
We will see how this experiment holds up against the Indiana Pacers. If this group actually clicks, the Grizzlies might have just stumbled into the most entertaining, unpredictable rotation in the Western Conference.
Key stats
Memphis recently lost 135-134 to New Orleans and beat Sacramento 136-105.
Tyrese Jerome recently recorded 26 points and 8 assists before being ejected with double technicals.
What's next
The Grizzlies will test this new starting five against the Indiana Pacers to see if the young frontcourt can hold its own.
