The Memphis Grizzlies took a flyer on Scotty Pippen Jr. in the 2023-24 season, granting him a two-way contract after showing out in the G League. This offseason, the Grizzlies showed they truly believe in the 24-year-old guard, converting his two-way contract to a multi-year standard deal to stay in Memphis.

The son of NBA Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen has not gotten as much love as many would expect, but Scotty Pippen Jr. has been a silent assassin, slowly growing his game to play at a high level.

In Saturday's win over the Chicago Bulls, Pippen dropped a game-high and career-high 30 points on impressively efficient 13-16 shooting, all three misses coming from deep. Pippen also contributed 10 assists on top of his career-scoring night, proving to the league what he can do with his expanded role.

Pippen's impressive performance has gone viral across social media, especially since he did this in Chicago, where his dad made his mark alongside legend Michael Jordan.
