Let's say 10% of all Grizzlies turnovers this year are trying to throw the ball to Zach Eady. Some of them are bad passes.

When you come into, this was Taylor Jenkins' sixth year, and in the offseason, he's like, all right, we're firing every assistant coach. We're bringing in basically all new assistant coaches, and we're installing a new offense. And everyone's like, cool. That shows the Grizzlies are going hard.

Like, you have a really good team with really good players. You have Ja Morant. Do we need to reinvent the wheel? And I don't know.
