Grizzlies coach Marc Iavaroni has already played Conley highlights in his mind over and over and over again.
"I can't express how happy I am we got Mike Conley," Iavaroni said. "I am really excited. ... I feel blessed as a coach that he will fit our system. He fits our philosophy."

Iavaroni contacted Thad Matta, Conley's coach at Ohio State, to get a sense of how Conley would adjust to the NBA.
"He's going to be leading some seasoned veterans who are always looking for added leadership," Iavaroni said, "but especially a winning pedigree, and that's what he has as well."
