Both young cores seem to be similar, with a lead superstar guard, a 2-way guard/forward, and a floor-spacing rim protector. The Grizzlies’ core have had more playoff success (due to being around longer) and JJJ also already has a DPOY, but they’ve also got more potential concerns (namely Ja’s off-court behavior and some of JJJ’s struggles like rebounding)
The Grizzlies are clearly more proven and better right now, but JJJ’s inconsistent offense and bad rebounding annoy the hell out of me and I worry about Ja’s health so OKC does have more upside. Memphis rn but by season’s end it should be OKC core passing them at this right.
Chet rebounds like shit also
