Mike Conley focused on being 'a different kind of leader' in Memphis

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley said that this summer was all "about being a different kind of leader for the team" and staying angry and focused about last season's end.

What It Means:

With the departure of long-time veterans Tony Allen and Zach Randolph, Conley will now join Marc Gasol in heading a more inexperienced Grizzlies team. He acknowledged that he and Gasol are putting a sense of urgency on their teammates as they enter the prime of their careers. "[W]e want to take advantage of it now", he was quoted saying when speaking to the media on Tuesday.

As the season gets underway, Conley is projected to produce 19.9 points, 7.7 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 35.3 minutes per game. That starts with a matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday, in which Conley's set for 37.5 FanDuel points at $7,400, per our projections.
