Before I get into the reasoning behind why the Memphis Grizzlies shouldn’t take Chris Duarte, it’s important to develop some background on the subject.
The Memphis Grizzlies finished with a 38-34 record in 2020-21. This was near the middle of the road, earning them the No. 17 spot in the NBA Draft. Last season, Memphis made their first selection at number 30, so barring any trades, this one will be earlier than last year.
That said, the Grizzlies made a couple of incredible selections in last year’s draft.
