MEMPHIS

C: Xavier Tillman — the Grizzlies are best with a traditional center taking the heat off of the club’s forwards and point guards,
PF: Jaren Jackson Jr. — a block every 9:27 and still had the legs for 50/36/79, pulled only 47 rebounds in 220 playoff minutes against Los Angeles. Needed Steven Adams for a lot of things in his past, has potential to prove he can be all-world without him.
