Mike Conley Jr. could be the most underrated player in the NBA. His name is rarely mentioned amongst the elite lead guards in the game. Conley Jr. has improved steadily every year since entering the league. This season he's taken his game to new heights. The patience the Memphis Grizzlies have shown in Conley Jr. Is paying off in a significant manner.
Conley Jr. is averaging 18.3 points, 6.2 assist, 1.3 steals and 3.6 rebounds per game this season. He has developed into the Grizzlies best scoring option, as well as an elite defender. Conley Jr. Is a key reason why the Grizzlies are a threat to win the Western Conference. The Grizzlies hard nosed style makes them a tough out come playoff time. This year Conley Jr. and company are looking to get over the hump and advance to the first NBA Finals appearance in franchise history. Conley Jr. Is the one that can get Memphis to the promise land. The young guard needs to be up for the challenge.
Conley Jr. was an inconsistent shooter when he entered the league. Today the three-point basket is one of his greatest assets. He is one of the hardest working guards in the NBA.
Conley Jr. Probably won't get too much consideration in the race for league MVP. Those that keep close tabs on the Grizzlies are aware of just how valuable Conley Jr. truly is. Some players don't need recognition to prove their worth. Conley Jr. is a throwback player in so many ways!
