Year after year, Memphis fields one of the most cohesive and aggressive Summer League teams. Their 2025 roster reflects the franchise’s emphasis on versatility, hustle, and defensive intensity. Built around pace and pressure, the Grizzlies push the tempo and rely on a rotation of multi-skilled guards and wings.
Strengths: Full-court pressure, three-point volume, guard depth, and scoring in transition.
Key Players:
Memphis thrives in chaos, and their ability to turn defense into quick offense makes them especially dangerous in short tournament formats like the Summer League.
As tournament hosts, the Utah Jazz bring a mix of G-League experience, recent draft picks, and physically imposing forwards. While less explosive in the backcourt, Utah makes up for it with paint presence and structured sets. Their style emphasizes execution and collective rebounding.
Strengths: Size inside, rebounding, shot contests, and half-court discipline.
Key Players:
Utah will rely on physicality and interior defense to slow down Memphis’s speed-driven game and force contested shots.
This game sets up as a stylistic contrast between Memphis’s speed and perimeter scoring and Utah’s size and structure. While the Jazz may control the glass and force longer possessions, Memphis’s energy, guard dominance, and scoring balance give them the edge in late-game execution. If the Grizzlies get into rhythm from deep and force turnovers early, they’ll likely dictate the pace and build a lead that Utah struggles to chase.
Memphis are expected to come out on top thanks to their superior backcourt depth, fast-paced transition play, and more cohesive offensive execution. Utah may hold an advantage in the paint, but their slower tempo and lack of perimeter scoring could cost them as the game progresses.
