Clayton Jr. Under Pressure | Memphis Grizzlies News

Javon Small is lighting up the Las Vegas Summer League on a two-way deal, making a strong case for a standard contract and putting serious pressure on Walter Clayton Jr. in Memphis. Clayton Jr., a first-round pick traded in February alongside Jaren Jackson Jr., struggled with shooting and was sidelined by a knee injury this summer — missing key opportunities to prove himself. Despite averaging under 10 points and 6 assists in 24 games as a rookie, he’s still expected to stay with the Grizzlies, but this injury couldn’t come at a worse time. With the team rebuilding and the point guard role critical post-Ja Morant, Clayton Jr. must show he can overcome his shooting woes and become a consistent scorer — or risk being left behind.
