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.
All of the NBA wants two-way wings, midsized players who can affect both ends of the floor. The Grizzlies are among the teams hunting for these players. But in Brooks and Anderson, they might already have one of the league’s best such combos.
