Jordan Adams

Adams is entering his rookie season. After two collegiate seasons and an impressive showing at the Orlando Summer League (during which he averaged 14.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.2 steals, and 0.4 blocks per game), Adams will look to provide the Grizzlies with versatility and scoring off the bench. During the 2013-14 collegiate season, he posted the 15th-best true shooting percentage (60 percent) in the NCAA on 49 percent shooting from the field, 36 percent from deep, and 84 percent from the free-throw line. He also set a single-season record for most steals (96 total, 2.6 per game) at UCLA. The Grizzlies did bring in veteran Vince Carter, who's also very versatile offensively, but the team is thin at small forward. Tayshaun Prince's skills are free falling, and Quincy Pondexter, who has yet to play a plentiful role, will be making his return from a stress fracture that forced him to miss the majority of 2013-14. Combine the questions at the small forward position with the versatility of players like Carter, Adams, and Tony Allen, and it seems realistic Adams will have a legitimate chance to carve himself out some time in his rookie year despite the Grizzlies' depth at shooting guard (Courtney Lee, Allen, Carter, Adams). Still, unless he's able to leapfrog a few of those veteran guys at his position, it's unlikely he'll hold too much immediate value in fantasy.
