Is Memphis Grizzlies a contender to win the Western Conference this season?
The Memphis Grizzlies have made a brilliant 4-1 start to the campaign. The Grizzlies' only loss came against Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks in a 137-96 rout.
Ja Morant, who won the NBA's Most Improved Player Award last season, also made the All-Star and All-NBA teams. He picked up right off where he left off last season. Morant could be a leading candidate to win the league MVP this season if the Grizzlies end up with a top seed in the stacked Western Conference.
The Memphis Grizzlies will look to do better than they did last season when they were knocked out in the second round by the Golden State Warriors in six games. The Grizzlies' young stars will look to gain more game time and experience as they look to reach the NBA finals.
Coach Taylor Jenkins and Morant have made sure that the team's chemistry and morale is on point as the young squad looks to reach their maximum potential. Desmond Bane, Jaren Jackson Jr., Dillon Brooks and Brandon Clarke have continued to flourish under Jenkins so far.
With the Western Conference stacked as ever, the Grizzlies will need their young core to perform at their best throughout the season.
