Podcast Network, your team every day.

Hello and welcome to the Locked-on Fantasy Basketball podcast, brought to you by Basketball

Monster. My name is Josh Lloyd, and I am your fantasy unc actually fantasy

basketball unc and we're talking about the grizzlies yesterday we talked about a bunch of them

and now we're going to talk about some of the younger guys the myriad of two-way randos that were playing

on this team remember old mate lawson lovering the extender remember him yeah he i'm not going talk about him, but I wanted to mention the name because it's a funny one. There were so many of these randos that played on this team, Toby O'Connie. Who else was Adam Abel? Old mate Lucas Williamson. Just one of the largest and most random collection of blokes you'll ever see on a team. In fact, they had 33 different players that played from. I'm going to go through some of the guys who didn't end the season on this team that played. PJ Hall played games here. Christian Coloco, Charles Bassie, Dijon Giroux, the big fella. Not even including the guys that were traded away on this squad. But, yeah, Law, oh mate Lawson Lovering, Tyler Burton. Yeah,

that's a real guy as well. The Pimple, Dorek Whitehead, Tobia Carney, Lucas Williamson,

just some of the most random collection of blokes you'll ever see. What will we talk about first?

Well, we'll just go into a bit of the stats in the overview of the team before talking about guys like Prosper and Wells and Greg Jackson the second.

So let's just go straight in and talk about what this team actually was during the season. Bad is the answer, but I was going to say some of it is deliberate, but some of it is also not deliberate.

Injuries killed them obviously early on, but there was a very clear pattern from this team from about midway through the previous season that they were going to be trying to save money and some sort of a rebuild.

That's why they traded away, Picks and Marcus Smart and then moved on from Desmond Bain and then moved on from Jaron Jackson.

And who knows what they do this off season? Will it be Mrant that moves on as well? I'm recording this before the NBA draft lottery. You're watching it after the NBA draft lottery, so I'm sorry, I don't know. They could have an awesome opportunity to pick at the top of the draft, or they could be down at pick number nine. I just don't know. They were 25 and 57, with a net rating of minus 6, 24th, which is, again, slightly better than their overall record. They did have the sixth best otterly logs heading into the lottery, but they also have two other picks, pretty good picks. Pick number 16, the Sun's pick, which they got as part of the Desmond Bain trade and they also have pick number 32 which they got from the paces and honestly
