The Memphis Grizzlies weren’t thought of as a team that was going to make a big splash in the 2020 NBA Draft. Immediately after, it still didn’t seem like they had done much.
Fast forward through the 2020-21 season and you’ve got an entirely different story.
The Grizzlies’ two picks, one at the 30th spot and the other at the 36th spot, were both among the best value picks in the league. As a result, the hype is beginning to build around the Grizzlies’ 2021 first-round pick, which will come at the 17th overall spot in this year’s draft.
