The Memphis Grizzlies 2005–06 were built around Pau Gasol, whose scoring, rebounding and passing made him the clear offensive focal point. Mike Miller supplied efficient perimeter scoring and secondary playmaking, while Shane Battier contributed reliable outside shooting and strong wing defence. The statistics reflect a balanced team that emphasised ball movement, efficient offence and versatile scoring, but lacked dominant rebounding and interior defensive production beyond Gasol.
