Herrington: Preseason Grizzlies notes and what the Giannis deal means for Memphis
Can Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (12) dunk? Can he do so with authority? Can he do it up, over and through defense? Yes. Yes, he can. (Kathy Willens/AP file)

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.
From the Second Season Leap to the Kyle Anderson Belief Society, a few quick preseason notes on the Grizzlies and other NBA items of local relevance.
