When asked about this matchup after Tuesday night's play-in win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, LeBron James gave an incredibly in-depth answer, going up and down the Grizzlies roster with analysis on each player:

"Really good team. Very well-coached. Very well-balanced. Obviously, the head of the snake is Ja Morant. But [they have] another All-Star in Jaren Jackson Jr., who is up there, one of the defensive players of the year, his ability to block shots. Offensively he’s very dynamic as well. Tyus Jones, the point guard off the bench, has led the league in assist-to-turnover ratio like the last six years. So he complements them very well. Desmond Bane… plays like a veteran, his ability to shoot the ball from the three-point line, his ability to attack in early transition. Dillon Brooks… we can’t disrespect him because he makes shots. Xavier Tillman been playing good basketball. Obviously been well-coached since college days with coach Izzo 'til now… They got Luke Kennard, who broke my scoring record in high school… and there’s a reason why, cause he’s a laser from the three-point line… And they got some younger guys off the bench that you can’t disrespect cause they will make you pay."

With a player like LeBron James, the Lakers are not an ordinary 7th seed, but the Grizzlies are ready for that challenge.
