Grizzlies Have Several Candidates For Starting Small Forward Position
1 year agoThe Memphis Grizzlies haven't replaced Dillon Brooks over the summer and will need a new starting small forward for next season. Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal has noted that there are several candidates who can grab the job. He mentions Jake LaRavia, David Roddy, and Zaire Williams as the options, whilst adding that Grizzlies general manager Zach Kleiman has thrown out the idea of starting Luke Kennard alongside Marcus Smart and Desmond Bane. LaRavia has just wrapped up an impressive Summer League campaign, having averaged 18.3 points. Roddy and Williams are seen more as defensive-minded options at the position. Cole also suggests that once Ja Morant has served his 25-game suspension at the start of the season, Bane could take over the small forward spot, with Smart moving to the shooting guard position.
