Among the most decisive players at home Memphis Grizzlies there is the name of Desmond Bane. The class of ’98 has made great strides since his first season in the NBA: points average doubled, from 8.5 to 17.7, and shooting three with 42%. Numbers and performances that put him right on the list of eligible candidates for the Most Improved Player.
As told on the insider’s podcast of ESPN Chris Haynes, he number 22 of the Grizzlies truly believe they can win the accolade. These are his words:
“Often they don’t want to give it to guys like me or Jerami Grant, saying our role has changed. But the role changes the more you improve. As you grow and get better, you get more chances. This is how the game works. They won’t give a guy a chance who isn’t ready for it. I believe I have to be among the candidates. Guys like Jerami Grant, Devonte Graham: these are players I would rate my vote for. “
Ma Desmond Bane has another target in its sights: first place at 3-Point Contest of the All-Star Weekend to be held next month in Cleveland. Competing to win is the hope:
“If they invite me, I’ll try to play it and win it. It would be special. I entered the league with a reputation as a shooter. Entering such a competition in my second year in the NBA would be a dream come true and a recognition for all my hard work. I want to be regarded as one of the best shooters in the world. Being invited would be a great compliment, a great sign of respect, a reward for my work. “
