Chris Wallace wasn’t labeled as a great drafter before he came to the Grizzlies.
He drafted Kedrick Brown, Joseph Forte and Joe Johnson, who he traded immediately. Who went after those guys? Zach Randolph, Tony Parker, Gerald Wallace or Gilbert Arenas. Take your pick.
Wallace has been in charge of the Grizzlies draft decisions since 2007. In total, he has made 17 draft picks which included some being traded later in that draft night. His first pick, Mike Conley, came with criticism but ended up good in the long run and gave hope for the future.
It went down hill fast from there as the only All-Star Wallace drafted ended up doing it for a different team.
