Austin Daye is happy with the Grizzlies and said that Lionel Hollins gives him "great insight" and "confidence."

Daye was a total afterthought with the Pistons, so it's not a surprise to see him embrace new scenery. Set for free agency at the end of the season, Daye is not certain to return to Memphis.

Austin Daye is not expected to play on Thursday, but should be available for the Grizzlies on Friday.

Daye, like Tayshaun Prince and Ed Davis, are expected to make their Grizzlies debut on Friday. Daye has real sleeper appeal with no clear starter at small forward in Memphis, and he's shown an ability to contribute in multiple categories when given the opportunity.

G/F Austin Daye will reportedly be traded to the Grizzlies, along with Tayshaun Prince, in exchange for Jose Calderon.

Prince looks like the starter for the new starting small forward for the Grizzlies after the Rudy Gay trade, but it's possible Daye could see new life now that he's out of Detroit, where he never seemed to really get a fair shake. He's put up some incredible numbers in Summer League games and the preseason, but has never really gotten a chance to show his skills on a full-time basis. There's a decent chance the same will be true in Memphis, but he's at least worth keeping an eye on for his new team.

Austin Daye went scoreless in 11 minutes during Sunday's OT loss, just one game after he scored a season-high 20 points.

He's been averaging around 20 minutes over the past two weeks, but his role won't increase as long as Tayshaun Prince is healthy.

Austin Daye was hot in Friday's win over the Hawks, shooting 9-of-11 from the field for 20 points with six rebounds, one assist and two 3-pointers in 22 minutes.

He's creeping on the radar in deeper leagues with 23.5 minutes per game in his last six games. The Pistons have won five of their last six games, so that certainly won't hurt Daye's chances to earn playing time. He's worth a look for owners that are holding a player that has lost his luster.

Austin Daye had 13 points, two rebounds, two assists and two 3-pointers in 21 minutes off the Pistons bench on Tuesday.

Daye is suddenly in the Pistons' rotation and is averaging 8.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.8 3-pointers over his last five, making him worth a look in deep leagues.
