Conley has spent his entire NBA career with the Grizzlies. Gasol did as well up until February, when Memphis traded the All-Star center to the Toronto Raptors.
Conley's name came up in trade rumors at the trade deadline too. The Grizzlies, though, decided to keep the lefty.
This season, Conley is averaging 20.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 6.5 assists per contest while shooting 43.6 percent from the field, 36.6 percent from beyond the arc and 84.8 percent from the free-throw line.
The 31-year-old Arkansas native has 10 double-doubles on the season.
Memphis is going to finish with one of the worst records in the NBA again, but it's been a nice bounce back season for Conley, who only played in 12 games in 2017-18 due to an Achilles injury.
Conley is universally recognized as one of the most underrated players in the league. He's never made an All-Star team despite putting up solid numbers year after year. Playing in the Western Conference, Conley has had a hard time getting enough recognition since there are so many elite guards in the West.
