Stuffs stat sheet in win Monday
Wells ended with 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 27 minutes in Monday's 120-116 preseason win over the Pacers.
Analysis
With Desmond Bane (undisclosed) returning to game action Monday, Wells retreated to the bench and posted an efficient 12 points. The No. 39 overall pick of the 2024 Draft will likely struggle to pick up significant playing time in the regular season while buried behind Bane, Vince Williams (lower leg), Luke Kennard, Jake LaRavia and John Konchar. However, Wells' stellar play during both the Summer League and preseason bodes well for the possibility that he climbs the depth chart throughout the 2024-25 campaign.

Back to bench
Wells won't start Monday's preseason game against the Pacers, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.
Analysis
With Desmond Bane out for undisclosed reasons, Wells drew a spot start Saturday against the Bulls and scored 24 points in 32 minutes. However, Bane is back, so Wells will come off the bench, though he could still see a sizable role given Ja Morant (ankle) and Marcus Smart (undisclosed) are unlikely to play.

Scores 24 in spot start
Wells finished with 24 points (9-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, six assists and a steal across 32 minutes in Saturday's 124-121 preseason win over the Bulls.
Analysis
Wells was one of several non-regulars who started for the Grizzlies in this game looking to strengthen their cases for a rotation spot, and he certainly made his presence felt as an excellent scorer and capable playmaker. Wells' case for a rotation spot is far from over, though, and he can't feel confident about his chances since he'll compete with John Konchar, Vince Williams (lower leg) and Jake LaRavia for minutes off the bench in a best-case scenario.

Picks up start Saturday
Wells will enter the starting five in Saturday's preseason matchup versus the Bulls.
Analysis
While nothing has been officially announced, Desmond Bane is unlikely to suit up due to rest purposes, paving the way for Wells to start. The 21-year-old is not expected to play a prominent role for the club this season, and he will likely compete for minutes off the bench with John Konchar, Vince Williams (lower leg) and Jake LaRavia.

Posts 12 points in preseason loss
Wells logged 12 points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals across 25 minutes in Thursday's 119-94 loss to the Hornets.
Analysis
Wells made a splash in the 2024 Las Vegas Summer League after being picked in the second round by the Grizzlies. Wells signed a four-year deal worth $7.9 million, so they expect him to be a contributor right away. His spot on the depth chart should rise if he continues to log solid numbers in the preseason.
