Luke Kennard

MEM Shooting Guard #10

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Kennard is signing a one-year, $11 million deal with Memphis.

Kennard was one of the many Grizzlies who dealt with injury problems last season. The sharpshooter averaged 11.0 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3.5 assists while shooting 45% from deep in 39 games in 2023-24. His long-range shooting efficiency has made him one of the league’s top three-point specialists in recent years and he can easily help fantasy teams in that area with a healthy season.
Santi Aldama

MEM Power Forward #7

Santi Aldama amassed 19 points (6-of-14 FGs) with 12 rebounds, three blocks, and three 3-pointers to lead Spain to an 84-77 win against Greece.

Aldama has easily been Spain’s best player so far. The Memphis Grizzlies forward has been aggressively looking for his shot and crashed the board in his second group play outing. He’ll likely continue to lead Spain’s scoring charge.
Ja Morant

MEM Point Guard #12

Ja Morant (right shoulder surgery) said during a recent appearance that he’s a full go physically but is building his endurance in advance of the upcoming season.

Morant’s 2023-24 season was disappointing, as he played just nine games after returning from a 25-game suspension. The Grizzlies star underwent surgery to repair a labral tear in his shoulder in January, and in early July, he was fully cleared to resume on-court activities. As for where he is right now, Morant said he’s about 75%, with the focus now being on his endurance. While disappointing as a fantasy option during the 2022-23 season, ranking just inside the top 100 in 9-cat formats, Morant should be a top 50 player, provided he keeps the turnovers in check.
Santi Aldama

MEM Power Forward #7

Santi Aldama led Spain with 27 points (6-of-12 FGs, 9-of-10 FTs), five rebounds, two steals and six 3-pointers in a 92-80 loss to Australia on Saturday.

Aldama is one of a few NBA players on Spain’s roster, and he was by far their best offensive weapon in this game. He did all of his work from behind the 3-point line and at the free throw line, and while it wasn’t enough for them to get a win, it was an impressive performance. Aldama will continue to be an integral part of Spain’s offense, and he will be a valuable role player for Memphis once again next season.
Jay Huff

MEM Center #30

The Grizzlies announced on Wednesday that they have signed Jay Huff to a two-way contract.

The 7-foot-1 Huff is on the move after spending last season with the Nuggets on a two-way contract. He’s appeared in 31 NBA games for the Nuggets, Wizards, and Lakers, with the majority of his minutes coming in the G League. Huff’s addition will not impact fantasy basketball, as the Grizzlies have Jaren Jackson Jr., Zach Edey, and Brandon Clarke among their frontcourt options. To make room for Huff, the Grizzlies waived Trey Jemison.
Scotty Pippen Jr.

MEM Point Guard #1

Scotty Pippen Jr. shot 9-of-24 from the field and 10-of-13 from the foul line in Monday’s 120-118 overtime loss to Miami, scoring 29 points with five rebounds, 11 assists, four steals, two blocks, and one 3-pointer in 36 minutes.

Some believed Pippen deserved to be named MVP of the NBA 2K25 Summer League, especially since the winner (Brooklyn’s Jalen Wilson) was a second-team selection while the Grizzlies point guard made the first team. Pippen was outstanding throughout Memphis’ time in Las Vegas, but the question is what this will do for his chances of winning the backup point guard job. Derrick Rose remains on the roster, but his injury history may leave the door ajar for Pippen. Regardless of who wins the job, backing up Ja Morant doesn’t do much for one’s fantasy value. However, given Pippen’s fight to stick in the NBA, having the opportunity represents a step in the right direction.
Gregory Jackson

MEM Small Forward #45

GG Jackson accumulated 28 points (11-of-16 FGs, 3-of-8 FTs), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals, and three 3-pointers in 37 minutes in Monday’s 120-118 loss to the Heat.

Jackson did not leave Las Vegas with the NBA 2K25 Summer League title, but Monday’s title game defeat capped a very encouraging summer for him. The 2023 second-round pick did more than just score, making strides as a facilitator while consistently taking on challenging defensive matchups. With a healthy Grizzlies roster, Jackson must provide value off the bench. He took significant steps in the right direction this month, which should only benefit GG and the Grizzlies moving forward. His fantasy value will take a hit with Memphis at full strength, but Jackson will be worth a roll of the dice as a late-round pick.
Jake LaRavia

MEM Small Forward #3

Jake LaRavia amassed 32 points (11-of-21 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block, and three 3-pointers in 35 minutes in Monday’s 120-118 overtime loss to the Heat.

LaRavia produced one of the best individual performances of the NBA 2K25 Summer League in Monday’s title game, but it wasn’t enough to get Memphis the victory. Overall, he had a good summer, putting up quality numbers as one of the summer Grizzlies’ primary scoring options. The biggest issue for LaRavia in his first two seasons has been availability, as he’s played 70 NBA games. If the 2022 first-round pick can remain healthy, he can be a solid contributor off the bench.
Gregory Jackson

MEM Small Forward #45

GG Jackson finished Sunday’s 99-98 win over the Clippers with 20 points (8-of-19 FGs), four rebounds, four assists, one block, and four 3-pointers in 37 minutes.

Jackson had another productive day offensively, scoring 20 points to help propel the Grizzlies into Monday’s championship game. While the turnover (six) count wasn’t great, this has been a summer of immense growth for the 2023 second-round pick. Primarily a scorer last season, Jackson has been tasked with expanding his game on both ends of the floor. He’s taken on some difficult defensive assignments but has not backed down from the competition, which is a good sign for the Grizzlies heading into next season. Jackson’s fantasy upside on a healthy Grizzlies team will be limited, but he’ll be worth a late-round roll of the dice in many leagues.
Scotty Pippen Jr.

MEM Point Guard #1

Scotty Pippen Jr. logged 33 minutes in Sunday’s 99-98 win over the Clippers, accumulating 23 points (5-of-15 FGs, 10-of-10 FTs), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, one block, and three 3-pointers.

Pippen had a tough afternoon shooting the basketball from two, making just two of his ten attempts inside the 3-point line. But he frequently got to the foul line, and the overall production was enough to help push the Grizzlies into Monday’s championship game. Last season, he benefitted from the Grizzlies’ many injuries to earn credible rotation minutes. This summer, the goal has been to show Taylor Jenkins and the rest of the coaching staff that he can handle the backup point guard responsibilities. That isn’t a spot of excellent fantasy value with a healthy Ja Morant in the lineup, but Pippen would be worth streaming on occasion if he can secure that job.
