Desmond Bane is emerging as one of the most underrated players in the NBA, showcasing elite skills alongside Ja Morant in the backcourt. With career averages of 17.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.3 assists, he posted a career-high 23.7 points per game last season despite battling injuries. Recently, he announced his marriage and is entering the first year of a five-year, $207 million contract extension with the Grizzlies. Bane's and Morant's return is a key factor in the team's decision to forgo major offseason additions, as they look forward to improved health and performance in the upcoming season.
