This year’s offseason presents an opportunity for the Memphis Grizzlies to make significant changes to their rotation.

With one of their worst records in recent memory (27-55), it’s clear that this team could use some fine-tuning all around, as they finished dead last in the league in points per game (105.8) and offensive rating (106.8) while also allowing opponents to cash in at the fourth-best three-point shooting clip (37.8 percent).

This summer, there appears to Though far from a lights-out shooter, the 28-year-old is a willing floor-spacer (32.3 lifetime three-point percentage), allowing Memphis to operate the much-coveted five-out offensive strategy, which they were unable to do with Trey Jemison in the middle this season.

Kornet has established himself as a dependable two-way rotational player for the Celtics after 63 games, averaging 5.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 1.0 blocks while shooting a highly efficient 70.0 percent from the floor and 100 percent from deep, albeit on just one attempt from beyond the arc all year.be no shortage of moves this club can make as they look to better bolster their talent pool and, in turn, help improve their on-court production. To strengthen perhaps their weakest position within the rotation at center, Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report predicts that the Grizzlies will steal big man Luke Kornet from the Celtics in free agency.

Kornet, who stands 7-foot-2 and weighs 250 pounds, would add much-needed size to the Grizzlies’ frontcourt rotation, while his defensive versatility and rebounding prowess (13.1 rebounds per 100 possessions, including 5.9 on the offensive end) would address some of the team’s glaring weaknesses from last season, when they finished as the seventh-worst rebounding team in the league in 2023-24.

While his efforts undoubtedly merit Boston’s consideration for bringing him back next year, his performance may persuade a frontcourt-needy team to pay little more than market value for his services.
