All eight of Wells’ shot attempts were from beyond the arc Wednesday night, which is somewhat surprising given the Grizzlies’ need to account for the offense lost when Desmond Bane was traded to Orlando. As a rookie, Wells had a three-point rate of 58 percent, so spending most of his time on the perimeter isn’t a departure from the norm. Hopefully, he’ll be more aggressive on offense as the season progresses, because the Grizzlies will need him to be.

Wells’ strong preseason concluded on Friday with another solid offensive performance. On efficient shooting, he reached the 20-point mark for the second time this season and tied a preseason high in made threes. Throughout the five exhibition games, he very much looked like a player who started 74 regular-season games the year prior and found success on both ends of the floor. Wells could make another leap in Year 2 after averaging 10.4 points as a rookie.

Having provided limited offensive value in Monday’s Grizzlies’ preseason opener, Wells was considerably better against the Celtics. Even with a healthy Ja Morant in the lineup once the point guard is cleared to return from an ankle injury, Wells’ role offensively should expand due to Desmond Bane being traded to the Magic during the summer. The second-year wing looked better equipped to take on those responsibilities on Wednesday than two nights prior. The progress shown by Wells is encouraging, especially for a player whose value to his team exceeded his fantasy value last season.

While Wells was one of the most impressive players in last season’s rookie class, he only had two games in which he scored 23 points or more. With Desmond Bane no longer in the picture in Memphis, Wells is one of the players with more opportunities to contribute offensively. Saturday’s performance was excellent, as the second-year wing’s scoring did not diminish his defensive value. With the Grizzlies having played in Salt Lake City last weekend, it’s fair to wonder if Wells will be shut down soon. Regardless of what happens, he’ll offer solid fantasy upside next season.

Once again, Wells played well, but he shot the ball inefficiently. He is now 11-of-32 (34.4 percent) from the floor through two games. He didn’t play a high-volume offensive role for Memphis as a rookie, and that is unlikely to change next season, so this rough shooting in Summer League is nothing to be concerned about.

Wells suited up for the first time since a scary fall resulted in a fractured wrist and ended Wells’ successful rookie year a few games early. He started most of his rookie season, so it isn’t surprising that he was able to have a strong Summer League performance, even if it wasn’t his best shooting night. Wells will have a strong case to start for Memphis again next season, even after they added Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Ty Jerome and Cedric Coward this summer.
