Would love to trade down and maybe be able to grab Grant and Okeke.

Or Admiral. I’d love to have a Vol to usher in the new era.

How’d the last Vol drafted work out?

 

[YankeeVol]

Bol Bol may drop to the Grizz

 

[YankeeVol]

Memphis traded up to 21...

 

[Kingston Vol]

A perfect draft for the Grizzlies.

 

[YankeeVol]

I like the pick.

*From the OG franchise city

We’re gonna have the best aau team ever

Grizz. NBA Champs 2021-2022

 

[GeneralsHuntBears]

I like it. Clarke and Jackson are going to block many shots over the next few years.

 

[YankeeVol]

He's a little excited and unprepared.

 

[gordonr24]

Love the Clarke pick. Did not expect him to drop.

Same, which is why I didn't even mention him.

I don't think the draft could have gone much better.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Grizz only gave up a future second rounder to move up and get their man and plenty of other teams had to give up future firsts to move up

 

[Blake25p]

ESPN had Clarke as the 12th best prospect in the draft, helluva value pick at 21.

 

[YankeeVol]

I'd almost trade a future first to get Bol Bol at this point

I’d buy a 2nd rounder to nab him. Can’t hurt anything. He was a lottery talent before injuries.

Simi Shittu on the summer league team should be interesting

Memphis Grizzlies

Givony: Memphis' new front office is off to a terrific start -- not only by lucking into the No. 2 spot and Ja Morant but also by getting excellent value for Mike Conley, then turning around and trading up for Brandon Clarke at No. 21.

The young Grizzlies are shaping up as possibly the most athletic team in the NBA, and there will be no shortage of highlights with the high-flying Jaren Jackson Jr. and Clarke catching lobs from Morant next season. Just as importantly, the Grizzlies will feature terrific defensive versatility. Jackson and Clarke are phenomenal shot-blockers who also are capable of switching ball screens. Memphis will now need to prioritize shooting in free agency to get the best out of its young core.

Though I feel like that's always been the Grizz's problem...

Yup. I think we'll sign a veteran guard.... maybe rodney hood or someone like that.

Hopefully a healthy Brooks, Cabocolo and Allen can chip in too.

Yep.. good with the draft but in classic Memphis fashion we took a guy whose biggest offensive ? Is shooting and another guy who can’t shoot at all

They maybe got their franchise player and a steal on a great complimentary player to their other young star. Things don't usually work out how you expect, but they had a great draft in terms of accomplishing what you set out to do
