Over the next couple weeks, I will be breaking down the Memphis Grizzlies roster, position by position. The focus will be on the dept of each position, strengths and weaknesses of each player, and the role each player will play for the team.

This is part three of my five part series, and today I will be discussing small forwards.

Here are some small forwards in the league: LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Paul George, Carmelo Anthony, Kawhi Leonard.

The small forward position is becoming increasingly deep, with many of the league’s best players playing there. As a result, small forwards end up having to play against the opposing team’s best player on most nights.

So how do the Grizzlies’ small forwards match up?
