From nervous freshman to highly recruited senior, Glenn has grown by leaps and bounds on the field and physically.

The 20-year-old Williams spent last season becoming a professional. He hopes this summer league experience can elevate him the way it did for Desmond Bane.

The Tigers ranked near the bottom of the league in rushing yards, total yards allowed and time of possession. 

The Grizzlies took care of business in a blowout win over the Nets on Tuesday in Las Vegas Summer League play. 

Morant’s extension means he’ll be here when the Grizzlies and the city and county negotiate the guts of a new FedExForum lease. All of which makes him the most important Grizzly at the most important moment in the city’s NBA history. Just another reason to thank Ja.

It isn’t just about summer league games; the Grizzlies provided some interesting developments as well. 

In an ideal season, these are the performances that will lead the Tigers back to the NCAA Tournament. 

Santi Aldama scored 22 to lead all scorers in the Grizzlies’ victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves in the lowest-scoring game of summer league so far this year. 

LaRavia splashed a pair of 3-pointers in the first quarter, and rookie Kenneth Lofton Jr. scored a game-high 18 points in Memphis’ loss to the Clippers in Las Vegas Summer League. 

Ja Morant didn’t just sign a rich new contract to stay with the Grizzlies. He committed to Memphis as “home.” That’s a credit to him and to the Grizzlies front office. Here’s how that came to pass.

Ziaire Williams continued his strong start to summer league play and David Roddy scored 16 points in a Grizzlies win. 

The Tigers jumped in the running for two of the best shooting guards in the country.

Former quarterback Brady White will be back on the sidelines as an offensive graduate assistant. 

The Grizzlies reportedly signed John Konchar to an extension that will keep him with the team through the 2026-27 season.

Lofton, an undrafted, two-way player, had a game-high 19 points for Memphis and was the star of the show.

Chris Herrington and Drew Hill rank each Grizzlies rookie and Santi Aldama based on projected NBA careers. 

The Tigers’ 2021 class ranked No. 49 by Rivals.com. The 2022 class ranked No. 46 and the 2023 class is currently ranked No. 56. 

The Grizzlies hung on for a slim victory in their first summer league game against Philadelphia. Rookie Kennedy Chandler made the game-winning steal and Jake LaRavia knocked down four 3-pointers. 

Quinones scored 19 points and grabbed five rebounds in the Warriors loss to the Lakers on Monday.

The Grizzlies have functioned with the patience of an organization that believes time is on its side and is willing to risk year-to-year slippage to stay on a positive long-term trajectory. 

Even though Hardaway accomplished his primary goal last season, he understood that the path Memphis took would be unsustainable going forward.

Finding the right combinations should be much easier for Penny Hardaway this season.

The draw of promotions adds to fans coming to AutoZone Park.

Memphis is ranked in the top 20 in NIL compensation.

The Grizzlies and superstar point guard Ja Morant have agreed to the most lucrative contract in franchise history.
