Speights only had four points on two-of-ten shooting to go with

Speights could be free agent

Grizzlies forward Marreese Speights is a restricted free agent this offseason, and the team has to make a decision on whether they will bring him back or re-sign fellow restricted free agent Darrell Arthur. Speights replaced Arthur when he went down with an Achilles injury prior to the season, and averaged career highs of 8.8 points and 6.2 rebounds per game in 60 games, showing he could handle a starting role with Zach Randolph missing time this season.

Analysis: The team will only be able to keep one of Speights or Arthur, and with Randolph in place at the starting power forward spot next season, the best thing for Speights’ value would be to hit the market and find a starting job. Speights has produced in his career in limited opportunities, average 16.6 points and 9.3 rebounds per-36 minutes, so the question may be whether he can find a full-time job. The 25-year-old former first-round pick is likely to be just a late-round selection at best on Draft Day no matter where he ends up, though the upside is there.
