Memphis Grizzlies - Memphis, Tennessee
The Memphis Grizzlies are Tennessee's only professional basketball team, located in Memphis, Tennessee. The FedEx Forum Arena is a piece of modern architecture, beautifully placed in downtown Memphis. The team has never appeared in an NBA Finals, but they do have one conference finals appearance. In this 2013 series, the Grizzlies were brutally swept 4-0 by the San Antonio Spurs.
In recent news, the grizzlies have recently signed two new undrafted rookies. Justin Bean is a 6'7" forward, who a senior for Utah State last season, averaged 17.4 PPG, 9.9 RPG, 2.6 APG and 1.6 SPG.
Jacob Gilyard is a 5'9" point guard, who spent his entire five-year college career at Richmond, averaging 13.3 PPG, 5.4 APG, 3.5 RPG, and 2.9 SPG.
​
While these two may not become immediate impact players for the team, both Bean and Gilyard have the potential to become crucial role players in this lethal Memphis offense in the coming season.
