Memphis Grizzlies: Jaren Jackson Jr. 

My main team to watch next season is the Memphis Grizzlies, who finished 13th in the West last season after suffering myriad injuries to their stars. 

Everyone assumes Memphis will be back on form next year with all of their guys back, but what if they aren't?

The Grizzlies will have an expensive roster next season, which is fine if they are good, but if they aren’t, this is a small-market team at risk of being in the luxury tax, not a place they want to be if they aren’t competing for a title. 

With only two years remaining on his deal, Jaren Jackson Jr. is the player the Pistons should target if the Grizzlies eventually go in a different direction. He’s good, he’s young and he’s a perfect modern big.
