Grizzly Bear Blues: for Memphis Grizzlies fans

The Memphis Grizzlies are back, and we're on the heels of an exciting media day earlier this week. Parker is joined by Connor Dunning, the producer for the "Giannotto and Jeffrey Show" on 92.9 ESPN, to talk about:

- The brilliance and transparency of Zach Kleiman and Taylor Jenkins, and how they differ from past coaching and front office personnel

- The biggest winners of media day

- How Solomon Hill and Grayson Allen won fans in the media

- The dynamic of Jaren Jackson Jr. and Ja Morant, and their expectations for this season.

Big “Core 4” here, as I’m joined with newly-promoted Senior Staff Writer Shawn Coleman to talk about the Memphis Grizzlies on the defensive end.

Yes, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Brandon Clarke are fascinating, but what about everyone else? What could Kyle Anderson do in this system? Could Bruno Caboclo become a 5-position defender? Who are some under-the-radar players that could evolve into good defenders?
