Grizzlies coach Marc Iavaroni would like to see Rudy Gay and rookie O.J. Mayo shoot less in order to improve the team's offensive balance.

"That's why we have to somehow find a way to get balanced scoring with shot attempts," Iavaroni said. "We've got guys in the (150s,) and the next guy is in the 70s."

Iavaroni is asking his two offensive leaders to operate as effectively playmaking as they are scoring.

"We have to find that balance between shooting the open shot and making the extra pass," Iavaroni said. "We're taking too many contested 2-pointers. It's all one-on-one. Either you're open or you're not. But if the ball continues to move we'll get better shots. And we have to understand spacing. It's all a process."
