Jerome arrived in great shape after heavy offseason work and is playing with big confidence.

“The shape he showed up to camp in, he has put a hell of a lot of hard work in this last spring and this summer... The confidence that he's playing with is incredible. He feels that confidence also from coaching staff, but especially from the team.”

Cameron Boozer delivers high-level rookie performance as Grizzlies monitor his workload.

“He was on right from the get-go. I think him not knocking down shots in a couple of games led to them giving him a little bit of open space. And he obviously started, I think, going 3-3 and was feeling good and overall high-level rookie matchup and just does it all. I keep repeating that after every game, but no matter which role he's in, in transition, he's relentless. It doesn't really seem like he had our highest minutes tonight and seems to be able to push through it without any sign of fatigue. Now any sign of fatigue doesn’t equal that he doesn’t have fatigue, so we gotta be smart there.”
