The Memphis Grizzlies will probably not be NBA champions this season, but their franchise and fans alike should be encouraged by their tremendous group of young talent navigating the NBA Summer League. The Grizzlies won their matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves by a score of 95-92, thank to an impressive performance from Brandon Clarke.

The Gonzaga product posted an impressive statline by scoring 15 points (4/9), snagging 16 rebounds and dishing out four assists to go along with a steal and three blocks. The rookie was MVP of the Summer League.
