MikeCheck: Grizzlies gaining traction, garnering praise for aggressive NBA draft approach

MEMPHIS – The Grizzlies have positioned themselves as one of the league’s more aggressive and respected front offices as they prepare for another active night at the NBA Draft on Thursday, according to national analysts and insiders.

“They realize who they are...they know where they are...they know the kind of market they’re in,” former NBA executive and ESPN’s Front Office Insider Bobby Marks said of the Grizzlies entering Thursday’s draft. “I just think that how (this leadership group) has operated, how they’ve kind of maneuvered, they’ve got a foundation.”

The Grizzlies take another key step in solidifying that foundation Thursday.
