This year’s draft is a sticky one for the Memphis Grizzlies. Because of a silly trade for Jon Leuer (yes, still bitter), they’re left without a first round pick. Then, they traded away their second round pick as well, so the Grizzlies don’t have a pick in a historically deep draft. Even though they wouldn’t be competing for the likes of Markelle Fultz, Lonzo Ball or De’Aaron Fox, they’re still missing out on quality players (Justin Jackson, Luke Kennard and TJ Leaf) who can help this team both in the short and long run.
With three second-round draft picks next season and a few tradeable pieces, the Grizzlies could very well be active on draft night.
