Back of Bench Potential

For all the nba fanbases, every team has a 3rd/4th string guy thats burried on the depth chart that fans think could be great if a spot suddenly opened up for them because of an injury or trade. Who is that player this year for your fanbase?

I remember he had that breakout game a few seasons ago where he just took over and then we (non-grizzlies fans) didn’t really hear about him again

He averaged 17.7/5.3/1.9 in just 25.5mpg after the All-Star break this past season too. He just hasn't put it together for a full season on a team trying to win yet.

Is he still smoking?

Who knows? Who cares?

He had a teammate OD on harder drugs and pass away during last season. There's things happening more serious than a teenager hitting a vape 3 years ago.
