Even though Dillon Brooks is the rookie playing right now, Ivan Rabb was the Memphis Grizzlies’ first draft pick in the 2017 draft.
However, Brooks started much faster. He looked solid in summer league. Brooks had a good training camp. Then he took off in the first quarter of the season earning a starting role along the way.
Ivan Rabb didn’t play in Summer League due to an injury. He didn’t even sign a contract until the day before training camp. Ivan wasn’t a factor in the frontline battles in training camp. Rabb has been a deep Grizzlies’ bench player or in the G League so far this season.
