Jones will reunite with the new head coach of the Grizzlies as he joins Jenkins’ staff this season. “The NBA/G League is such a small world,” said Jones, 51. “It’s amazing how it plays out sometimes.” (David Dow/NBAE via Getty Images)
Taylor Jenkins and Brad Jones first coached together in the minors nearly a decade ago. They'll reunite for the Grizzlies this season, with the roles reversed.

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.
