Brendan Hausen, a former Iowa Hawkeyes guard known for his elite shooting, has agreed to a Summer League contract with the Memphis Grizzlies, giving the team a fresh option off the bench.
A Sharpshooter's Opportunity
During his collegiate career Hausen shot 38.3 percent from beyond the arc, a figure that reflects his reputation as a reliable long‑range threat. In his most recent season he averaged 4.0 points per game while hitting 32.8 percent of his three‑point attempts.
The Grizzlies, who are in the midst of a rebuild, see value in adding a player who can stretch the floor and create spacing for younger teammates. General manager Koby Altman indicated that a strong showing could open the door to a two‑way contract.
Summer League Outlook
Hausen is slated to debut in the upcoming Summer League session next month, where he will face a mix of prospects from across the league. Coaches will evaluate his ability to translate shooting percentages into game‑changing moments under pressure.
If he can demonstrate consistency and defensive effort, the organization may consider him for a roster spot that could see him alternate between the NBA team and its G‑League affiliate. The move aligns with the Grizzlies' strategy of scouting undervalued talent with high upside.
