I remember Mike Conley as the best point guard in Memphis. It's just sad they haven't reached the NBA finals when they made an upset against the OKC in 2013 NBA 2nd round playoffs.
those days already past and new breed already taken the place, he was before when he still on his prime, got his chance but the team didn't manage to take that opportunity to reached the finals.
I think he's a perfect compliment with Marc Gasol. After their tandem in Memphis, he seems lost and cannot find his rhythm.
He got that combo and they really played well, but they unable to move forward and bring the franchise to the finals,.
Conley is a veteran point guard, So I agree with you that he can help his teammates with his experience.
Veterans needs to adjust, no need to treat yourself as a the main key of the team, instead, giving the mental guidance for the new and young talents will bring good chemistry for the team.
