Making the Case: Memphis Grizzlies
The Western Conference could be loaded next season if many teams manage to stay healthy. The competition is only getting more challenging, ranging from expected contenders like the Phoenix Suns remaining a formidable threat to rising teams like the New Orleans Pelicans.
The Memphis Grizzlies accomplished the first step: adding elite shooting on the floor. Now, it is time to build around the talent so they can advance as far as possible in the postseason.
