Herrington: Tyus Jones, Dillon Brooks are odd-couple stalwarts in Grizzlies rotation
Memphis Grizzlies guard Tyus Jones got off to a terrible shooting start in his Memphis debut, going 5-for-28 from 3-point range in October/November. He still finished with career highs of 46% shooting from the floor and 38% from the 3-point line. (Brandon Dill/AP)

Chris Herrington has covered the Memphis Grizzlies, in one way or another, since the franchise’s second season in Memphis, while also writing about music, movies, food and civic life. As far as he knows, he’s the only member of the Professional Basketball Writers Association who is also a member of a film critics group and has also voted in national music critic polls for Rolling Stone and the Village Voice (RIP). He and his wife have two kids and, for reasons that sometimes elude him, three dogs.
One is the presumptive leader, the other a colorful character. Both are necessary parts of the perimeter pecking order.
