The Grizzlies have to be pleased with the play of guards Juan Carlos Navarro and Mike Conley Jr. so far this season. Conley was the first round pick of the Grizzlies but he hasn’t played much due to injury. He has played in 5 games this season and he is averaging 14.4 minutes, 5.6 points, 1.0 rebound and 4.2 assists per game. He also has shot well as he is hitting 47.4% of his shots from the floor and 81.8% from the free throw line. Juan Carlos Navarro is soaking up a lot of the playing time that Mike Conley Jr. would have been getting and he is running with it. Navarro has played in 28 games so far this season and he is averaging 23.6 minutes, 10.5 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.

The Grizzlies spent a lot of money on Darko Milicic in the off-season with the idea of starting him at power forward but he has been a disappointment. In 4 games in December, Milicic is averaging 27.5 minutes, 2.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.0 blocks per game. He also is shooting a horrible 21.7% from the floor this month. The Grizzlies are stuck with Milicic so they hope he starts playing better soon.

Mike Miller, Rudy Gay and Pau Gasol have all been outstanding so far in December. Miller has played in 5 games this month and he is averaging 37.2 minutes, 18.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. He also is shooting an amazing 55.7% from the floor in December. Rudy Gay is averaging 42.4 minutes, 23.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks per game. He also is shooting well in December as he’s hitting 52.8% from the floor. Pau Gasol has been really tough also. He has played in 5 games and he is averaging 17.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.4 blocks per game. The Grizzlies will start winning more games as long as their “Big Three” keep playing like they are right now.

The Memphis Grizzlies are in last place in the Southwest Division with a 6-14 record which has them 11 games behind the Spurs. They are still a fun team to watch because they have a high flying offense that is averaging 103.2 points per game. However, they give them up faster than they score them as they are allowing 105.2 points per game this season.

Rookie point guard Mike Conley will be ready to return in a couple of weeks. He’s recovering from a tear in his right shoulder that has kept him out of action for a couple of weeks already. Conley has only played in 5 games so far this season and he has averaged 14.4 minutes, 5.6 points, 1.0 rebound and 4.2 assists per game. Conley also has shot pretty well so far this season as he’s hit 47.4% from the floor and 81.8% from the free throw line.
