2017 NBA Manifesto
Mike Conley Jr
PG, 6’1, 175lbs, 29 years old, 10 years of experience
Conley is hugely important to the construct of the Grizzlies, partly because no one else does the things he does (the ball-handling and playmaking, even at a basic level, fall off a cliff without him), but also because of how sneaky good he has become over the last decade. The improvements continue, too, even as he hits 30, posting a career year this past season with a .604% true shooting percentage and 10.0 win shares. Conley must be considered at this point to be one of the best players to have never once been an All-Star. Give him a bigger market and a faster paced team, and this oversight would never have happened.
Player Plan: Four years and circa. $126 million remaining. As things stand, worth every penny.
