Memphis Grizzlies basketball in 2021 has been defined by strong work in the NBA Draft. Most of the Grizzlies’ key contributors in 2021 were either drafted by Memphis or acquired shortly after the NBA Draft.
Here are a few examples of players that fall under that umbrella:
- Ja Morant
- Jaren Jackson Jr.
- Dillon Brooks
- Brandon Clarke
- Desmond Bane
- Xavier Tillman
As you can see, a lot of the players that the Grizzlies have drafted in recent years have already become strong NBA players.
