The Memphis Grizzlies went through all the hassle of trading to move up in the draft in order to make a couple of high-profile picks and they’re rewarded with… a wait? That’s right, due to the NBA’s genius (not really) rules, the Grizzlies’ drafted rookies aren’t officially with the team until today, August 6th.
This is the reason why you’ve seen free agent signings like Yves Pons and Romeo Weems on the court thus far in Summer League with no sign of Ziaire Williams and Santi Aldama.
