17. Memphis Grizzlies
This is the highest-ranking court among Southwest Division teams. That division needs some design help, stat.
This is a bit chaotic, with the blue paint, yellow edges, multicolored bear head, and striped letters spelling out Memphis and Grizzlies on either sideline. But the colors go together, and using Beale Street blue for the 3-point arc and other markings provides some local flavor.
The Grizz, like about half the leagues teams, have opted to leave all four corners blank instead of splashing mini-logos in two of them. That makes for a pristine look, but teams with strong potential alternate logos have made good use of that space. The old Grizz logo, with a bear claw enveloping a basketball, would look nice there.
