The Grizzlies are sleeping on this...

The Grizzlies are sleeping on this now He's nowhere near the most popular name of the team But the Grizzlies should absolutely consider giving this youngster more playing time though He has a history of producing a triple-double and playing in all 48 minutes of the game And he is ready to accept the next challenge. What's going on everybody? Thanks you Thank you so much for joining us for another episode of Grizzlies Dad Just bringing you all the latest news and updates on everything Grizzlies related. Hey, we all know it's a dead period but hey look Things look on the bright side here college football in a week from now. It's gonna be week zero So they're not gonna be many games, but at least there's gonna be something to look forward to but I mean We're still here giving you guys the news. I just appreciate you tuning in and a lot of good engagement in the last video talking about Ty Jerome and Jake Moravia and Jordan Hawkins So appreciate that and of course if you want to like comment and subscribe to the channel We're gonna be so appreciate that but talking about One of our guys to my Yeah, to my Misha Youngster from Tennessee. So why this player is the best two-way prospect of the Grizzlies? Sam Drake of Grizzlies on SI says he's made the most of his opportunity last season Wasn't expected to get so much playing time, but you never know with this team Just like that So, let's take a look at one of the Trick about How we can fill a spot for Misha and he says the Grizzlies third two-way spot is open after Michigan's Carson Cooper I'm signed on June 25th that we're going undrafted in 2026 Participated in the summer league is no longer on the roster many project 2026 number 32 pick Richard Saunders at BYU to fill it Though he's yeah, he has yet to sign course Richie the tater tot guy as we know grandfather mentor of the beautiful wonderful amazing tater tots Has yet to sign so leave some room for to my Misha now Why are we expecting to my Misha? Soldiers now, of course, he's coming off an injury and we don't know how he's gonna play after that. He's in his mid-20s But his last two years of basketball were the best basketball of his career You know, we're talking all big 12 player And even though we got injured, I mean he's Still showed he can be an all-big 12 player even before that but why Is Sam Drake so high on Misha? Well, it's a Grizzlies dealt with a wave of injuries last season on route to a 25 and 55 finish Especially the front court with Zack Edie losing Himself to a season-ending ankle injury during Jackson jr And jock Landale both traded before the deadline may Shaq stepped up in a way nobody expected Now why are we mentioning Zack Edie and you're in Jackson jr. And jock Landale? There's three big guys But may Shaq stepping up in a way in place of them That couldn't be what he's talking about You don't think so but at 6 foot 3 He played minutes a guard Forward and even center for the Memphis Grizzlies He is a type of player who does whatever is asked to help the team win Even if that means guarding someone a foot taller and 50 pounds heavier Yeah, I think it was a game You can't remember exactly the game or what the lineup was. I Remember it was something like Walter Clayton It might have been Rupert might have been in that lineup. He might have been playing before even though he really should have been playing five And then Jemima Shaq was actually playing at center And that means yeah guarding the team's tallest player But at least on the court to start with and 50 pounds heavier. So I mean, yeah this guy He's about as tough as it gets You may think he's six three and can only play guard, but he has a history of Playing something that he's not Playing it center. He didn't even do that at Tennessee. I don't think Kate Phillips and Estrella He didn't have to But now he's doing it in the NBA now he was forced to But even when he was on the court, you still had guys taller than him But he he just plays Good enough defense good enough hustle to make you think hey, you can play it by I remember back in 2020 And this is not about the Grizzlies per se, but I remember when the Rockets were going through a little something In early 2020 and I think they had a lineup With PJ Tucker playing center. He's six five So you got PJ Tucker who's six five? But you my Mayshack who's six three Point seven and starting it He's not just coming in. He's coming. He's starting at center. He is doing the jump ball. He's doing the opening That's what you got It's pretty hard for Grizzlies fans to say. Well, we should just shut this guy out Here's another quote from Sam Mayshack showed exactly what that potential ceiling looked like in April 10th matchup against Utah with Memphis available 147 101 lost jazz As we said in the intro video, hey played all 48 minutes finished with this first career triple-double with 13 points 15 rebounds and 14 assists Wow, what a game Now, of course, it came at a pretty bad loss at a 40 But what can you do when you've got eight guys playing on the roster now, I'm not saying that he's only gonna produce Moments like this and there are eight guys on the roster But showed you what he can do whenever you put him out there And hopefully we don't have to be putting them out there center actually just six But I don't know but anyway You talked about Mayshack and he's not the first guy you think about he's not even really maybe the But he shows heart he shows hustle He's still a young guy I Think has enough to make you believe That he can take that next step the next one He's already in the end. So isn't he already at that? Well, I mean, there's more than just to just be in the NBA but He's shown what he can do Whenever he's been playing off 48 course he had to But this is what he can do and maybe in Maybe in a team not against the jazz which are they're gonna be a better team mix But either way Give this guy credit And give him credit where it's new. I Don't see him being really any more than Like the third string option, especially what you got right now You've got Ty Jerome. You've got Scottie Pippen He's still there I'm a Shaq switch from the one to two, but Yeah, I think that there's still something here with you my nation and I think there's still to be something with Ritchie Saunders, too But you can't just throw Mayshack to the curb after performance like that because That triple-double is hard to come by Like yeah, I don't think anybody Averaging 20 points is a pretty tough thing to do in it. If you're doing it in a season Double in the right now Russell Westbrook easy, but you might be Shaq isn't So I think the Grizzlies should Leave their options open He comes to do my Mayshaq. I think he's showing what he can do on the stage once he's ready That's gonna do it for this video, thank you so much for watching like it comment subscribe to it Comment down below your thoughts on to my Mayshaq itself or even Ritchie Saunders. I mean who should get that spot Gonna be tough. That's gonna do it for us. Appreciate you watching
