Scores 16 off bench
Small totaled 16 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six assists and two rebounds in 21 minutes during Saturday's 128-103 victory over the Pacers.
The Scoop: Small made the most of his minutes off the bench Saturday, sparking the Grizzlies with energy and efficiency while finishing as one of five players in double figures and posting a plus-18 plus-minus. The rookie out of West Virginia wasn't a highly touted prospect entering the league, but his early production -- 8.3 points and 5.7 rebounds in 20.7 minutes per game through three contests -- has earned him trust from the Memphis coaching staff as he fills in capably for Ty Jerome (calf) and Scotty Pippen (toe) at backup point guard.
