The Memphis Grizzlies seem to be making significant strides in their rebuilding effort in a short amount of time. Aside from bringing in young talent with smart trades, Memphis has drafted well in the past two offseasons.
The franchise was aspiring to compete for a playoff spot at the beginning of the 2018-19 season and did not want to draft a young backcourt player behind Mike Conley. Jaren Jackson Jr. was obviously the best available frontcourt player and made an instant impact as a starter.
Fast forward a year, and selecting Ja Morant with the third overall pick was a no-brainer for a franchise that got lucky on lottery day.
