Grizzlies Training Camp Day 1: Iisalo’s System Comes to Life | iTalkHoops

Memphis Grizzlies training camp is officially underway in Nashville, and Day 1 gave us our first real look at how Tuomas Iisalo is installing his system. The Grizzlies opened camp with two practices, but this wasn't simply about running players into the ground. Iisalo is using a deliberate teaching progression that moves from video and instruction into a "conceptual block" before eventually switching into what he calls "action mode." In this video, I break down what we learned from Day 1, including how Iisalo is teaching his system, why he's trying to avoid "paralysis by analysis," Zach Edey's continued ramp-up from injury, Scotty Pippen Jr.'s comments about the importance of point guards and centers in the offense, Cameron Boozer's first official NBA training camp practice and the competition for roles throughout this roster. We're finally moving from talking about the Grizzlies' new identity to watching how Tuomas Iisalo plans to build it. What stood out to you from Day 1? And which training camp battle are you watching most closely? Drew Hill's full Training Camp Day 1 report for The Daily Memphian: https://dailymemphian.com/section/spo...
