MEMPHIS – The Memphis Grizzlies are essentially on the clock.
But before the Grizzlies submit their name to league officials at Thursday’s NBA Draft in Brooklyn, and before commissioner Adam Silver announces who Memphis will select with the No. 4 pick, and before the next potential franchise player takes the stage and rocks the new team cap, I’ve rounded up a few Grind City basketball insiders to help set the board.
“Because of where we are and the expectations we have as an organization, this may be the most important draft we’ve had,” Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace said. “And we have a chance to get some real value at No. 4 and a key contributor with the No. 32 pick. We’ve prepared for that, and we like where we are going in.”
As the countdown to the Grizzlies’ picks continue, we unveil Grind City Media’s Mock 3.0 – our latest look at how the top five picks will play out Thursday night.
