Camp question
Point guard Jason Williams is quite talented, but the Grizzlies need him to develop his game further and have better decision making on the floor. Even with 2002 Rookie of the Year Pau Gasol, fellow all-rookie team member Shane Battier and heralded newcomer Drew Gooden, coach Sidney Lowe has called Williams "the x-factor." While Gasol is the team's star, the Grizzlies probably will only go as far as Williams takes them. Word is that Williams wasn't too happy about getting dissed regularly by the media while point guard Mike Bibby led Williams' old team, Sacramento, to the West finals. Bibby's strong play has given Williams motivation to prove his skeptics wrong.

Camp project
Keep an eye on the development of European rookies Gordon Giricek of Croatia and Poland's Cezary Trybanski. The Grizzlies are high on Giricek, who could give Michael Dickerson a challenge for the starting shooting guard spot. The 6-foot-6 guard is an excellent shooter, has impressive athleticism and possesses versatility that the Grizzlies sorely need. Battier has said Giricek goes hard to the basket, like an American. Trybanski is a shot-blocker and a skilled offensive player, but has just about 220 pounds on his 7-foot frame. Although this will be considered a redshirt season for the Polish center, the Grizzlies hope Trybanski can someday give them the inside presence they currently lack.

	FANTASY GAMES KEY CAMPER

Camp comeback
Will Dickerson be back? Dickerson was gone for the final 78 games last season after suffering an odd fracture near the groin of his right leg. While the media has seen little of the 6-5, 190-pounder since the injury, the Grizzlies say he's healthy, running, dunking, playing pickup games and will be ready for the start of training camp. The word is he has also picked up some weight, which may have hurt his athleticism. Concern over whether Dickerson would return to form led to the signing of Giricek and the acquisition of sharpshooter Wesley Person.

Camp controversy
The spotlight will be on the power forward position. No doubt, Gasol will be starting, and no one on the squad can challenge the future all-star. But overall, the Grizzlies have six players who can play power forward in Gasol, Stromile Swift, Gooden, Lorenzen Wright, Tony Massenburg and rookie Robert Archibald. Memphis tried hard, to no avail, to trade Swift during the offseason. Everybody in the organization believes Swift needs a change of scenery, and the Grizzlies have run out of patience with him. Don't be surprised if Swift is dealt during the preseason or by the trade deadline. Gooden definitely will need some minutes on the floor and could see time at small forward. To lessen the power forward logjam, Gasol might play some at center.
