The Story in 60 Seconds

Maxwell Ogden of Beale Street Bears argues that Memphis Grizzlies guard Ty Jerome's high-scoring start to the season is more sustainable than it may initially appear. Jerome opened the 2026-27 campaign averaging an NBA-leading 34.7 points per game through his first three appearances, which featured scoring totals of 45, 28, and 31 points.

While conceding that Jerome will not maintain a 30-point average, Ogden writes that Memphis lacks proven 20-point scorers on its young roster, making Jerome the team's best primary scoring option. Ogden projects that Jerome could realistically sustain an average of around 25 points per game given his playing time, efficiency, and offensive workload.
