With their stars returning and some new faces added in, the Memphis Grizzlies are hungry to get back to the winning basketball they’re used to.

This offseason is a pivotal one for the Memphis Grizzlies. For a franchise used to keeping their core and running it back every year, there’s been a surprising amount of change.

After missing the playoffs last year due to major injuries, the Grizzlies weren’t content to stay stagnant. They added a key player at every position, and some of them have an obscene amount of upside.

This article won’t only take a look at the roster, though. It’ll also address the three main storylines for the upcoming season, the best-case and worst-case scenarios, and it’ll end with some predictions for the final record and playoff chances.

Of course, though, a team’s success starts with the players on the roster, so it only makes sense that this article would start there as well. There’ve been a lot of additions, and almost all of them look to play an impactful role this season.
