Mike Conley continued his impressive preseason with 18 points, one assist three steals and two threes in 22 minutes on Wednesday. He hit five threes on Sunday and his offensive game has been on display this preseason. He was second in the league in steals last year, so an added three-point element would give him fantastic fantasy value. Owners should be excited to take him in the fourth round.

Mike Conley hit all five of his 3-point attempts in Sunday's exhibition win over the Hawks, finishing with 18 points on 5-of-9 shooting with five assists and a steal in 25 minutes. Surely he's not going to get loose quite so easily when the games begin to count, but increased 3-point shooting is one way for Conley's stable year-to-year production to take a big step forward. A late-second round value last season, the only concern we have is whether or not his free throw shooting regresses after a 13 percent increase last season. If Conley jumps from 1.0 threes to even 1.5 threes per game, he could crack first round value this season, and he's going much later than that in drafts.

Grizzlies GM Chris Wallace feels his team needs to add a backup PG and more outside shooting. "We have an unsettled backup point guard situation because [starting PG Mike Conley] played too many minutes, and we need more three-point shooters," said Wallace. Zach Randolph concurred: "[Teams] understand how much damage and how much problems me and Marc [Gasol] cause in the paint. We got to fix that." It's unlikely to happen through the draft, where Memphis holds the No. 25 pick and no second-round picks.

The Grizzlies couldn't score against the Clippers in their Game 7 loss at home on Sunday, shooting just 32.5% from the field as a team. Marc Gasol and Rudy Gay each scored 19 points, and Memphis nearly rallied for another comeback win, but they got almost nothing offensively from Mike Conley (2-of-13 FGs), Zach Randolph (3-of-12) and O.J. Mayo (1-of-11). The Grizzlies will surely get a chance for redemption next season, as Hamed Haddadi is the only significant unrestricted FA on their roster.

Mike Conley scored 25 points on 10-of-15 shooting (including two threes) with seven rebounds, eight assists, and a steal in the Grizzlies' Game 4 loss to the Clippers on Monday. The stat line will show a better performance than his counterpart CP3, but he still has a ways to go before he will control a game like Paul did tonight. The larger issues for the Grizzlies were the ineffective games out of Rudy Gay (23 points, 8-of-25 FGs, seven boards, four assists) and Marc Gasol (eight points, 1-of-4 FGs, five boards, three blocks). Zach Randolph was relatively quiet with 12 points and nine boards, and O.J. Mayo scored just five points on 1-of-6 shooting with three turnovers.

The Grizzlies blew a 27-point lead in the second half of Game 1 on Sunday, but Mike Conley posted an efficient line with 17 points, five rebounds, eight assists and just one turnover. Conley made 5-of-8 FGs, including a ridiculous 5-of-5 from downtown. He had his way in the first half but must also take blame for the Grizzlies' offense absolutely disappearing in the fourth quarter, when they were outscored 35-13.

Mike Conley scored just five points on 2-of-10 shooting vs. the Blazers, but a balanced attack helped the Grizzlies come away victorious. Memphis still has incentive to win -- they're now just 1/2 game behind the Clippers for the No. 4 seed in the West (and a first-round home-court advantage). After probably the busiest fantasy-playoff schedules in the league, the Grizzlies play just twice in the final week.

Mike Conley had 16 points, five rebounds, eight assists, two steals and two 3-pointers on 6-of-12 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Wolves. He went through a bit of a quiet period recently, but has been one of the most reliable fantasy point guards this season, and the future is bright.

Mike Conley scored 13 points on 4-of-10 shooting (including a three) with three rebounds, three assists, and one steal in the Grizzlies' win over the Clippers on Monday. Conley is still an effective fantasy player with no real holes in his game, but is averaging just 3.9 assists in the last seven games. He was averaging over seven assists per game before Zach Randolph's return.

Mike Conley scored 15 points on 5-of-8 shooting (including three treys) with one rebound, four assists, and three steals in the Grizzlies' win over the Heat on Friday. Conley played 35 minutes and everything appears to be fine with his ankle, but we'd like to see more assists sometime soon. Rudy Gay scored 17 points on 8-of-19 shooting (no threes) with three rebounds, one assist, and three steals, and Marc Gasol added 10 points, nine boards, two assist, one steal, and three blocks.
