Bayless cools off, still plays 36 minutes
Jerryd Bayless - G - Memphis Grizzlies
Feb. 2, 2013 - 12:40 PM ET
Jerryd Bayless got his third start in a row and had 11 points, five boards, two assists and one steal in 36 minutes against the Wizards on Friday.
He cooled off shooting the ball, making just 4-of-13 attempts, but it's still an encouraging sign to see him log 36 minutes even with Tayshaun Prince in the fold. It wouldn't be a shock to see him sustain 30 minutes per night since the Grizzlies will need more offense on the perimeter, so he does have some allure in standard leagues. Mike Conley looked good in his second game back from an ankle injury with 18 points, three rebounds, six assists, four steals and one 3-pointer.
