I guess it's early, so that percentage will change fast, but that raised my eyebrows a little. Haven't watched a Memphis game yet though.
Definitely an issue. He isn't getting the same kind of looks that allowed him to bully smaller players in college and is almost taking 50% of his shots from 3. With Edey and other non shooters next to him there simply isn't enough space for his iso post up game.
But the all around game is just fun to watch. The outlet passes. His short roll passing. The way he reads double teams and always find the open guy. Not as flashy as Jokic or Doncic but just looking at his passing he is already up there with the best in the league.
Ignoring the Mavs the Grizzlies might be my favorite team to watch right now. Beautiful ball movement combined with throwback grit&grind vibes. They obviously aren't the best team in the league and have some guys that are overperforming big time compared to what we have seen from them in the past but with all the injuries in the west the playoffs are within reach for them.
