A Memphis Grizzlies podcast from Keith Parish, host and co-creator of Fastbreak Breakfast. Covering the Grizzlies year-round with in-depth analysis.
Listen on Apple PodcastsThe Grizzlies may have a relatively deep squad, but are considered to have very little top end NBA talent. They will be depending a lot on Cam Boozer, Cedric Coward and Zach Edey to lead the way. Is one of those frontcourt players most likely to lead the team in scoring this season? Or could it be veterans Ty Jerome or Jerami Grant? Or perhaps someone else? This episode tries to figure out which player is most likely to lead the Grizzlies in points per game this season, plus takes an in-depth look at what the rotation could look like when every player is healthy. Also covered on this episode: could Richie Saunders spurn the Grizzleis and go back to college? Join the listener slack at Patreon.com/FastbreakBreakfast Please subscribe to this podcast on Youtube !
