Let's discuss 'em all here Grizzlies!

[Yippeekayay]

Grizz has 3 picks -- 22, 29 and 47.

Here are who they will draft based on availability:

22 - Eason (SF), Wesley (PG)
29 - Beauchamp (SG), Houstan (SG)
47 - If they got Eason at 22, it will be Montero (PG) or Davison (PG)
- If they got Wesley at 22, it will be Minott (SF) or Ellis (SG)

I don’t like Memphis because they talk too much crap and haven’t really accomplished that much.I will say they have a lot of potential though.

[Yippeekayay]

I like their potential. Right now they don't know that they are with a terrible dumb coach but that is on the GMs. Give this team a true Coach and they will shine.

2022 Draft is terrible though. They drafted Jake Laravia when Nikola Jovic is available. Hope Laravia comes through.

[Yippeekayay]

Memphis got Jake Laravia, David Roddy and Kennedy Chandler. I think they could have gotten better picks but we'll see.

They also signed Kenny Lofton Jr of LA Tech to a 2-way deal. That is awesome!

Grizzlies in the process of building Grizzly-Bear like team.

Grizzly bears are stocky and powerful and that's what Grizzlies identity want to project.

Just look at the bodies of Steven Adams, Jaren Jackson Jr,, Dillon Brooks, Desmond Bane, Brandon Clark and now they added in the draft Jake Laravia and David Roddy.

Even former thin guys Ja and Ziaire are pumping hard and getting wider.

But they are also not slow. These Grizzlies are hybrid of mound of muscles with speed.

[Yippeekayay]

Liking what I'm seeing from incoming rookies Laravia, Lofton Jr and Chandler.

I dont blame Memphis for giving Ja his max deal, but every time I think of him I just remember 18-2 as well as the GSW playoff game. Did they just massively overpay for a guy who they are pretty good at winning when he's not around?

It's the Coaching that is terrible for Memphis. It's like he's coaching to lose come playoffs where it matters. I still remember him cooling off a scalding hot JJJ and then in another, cooling off all starters at same time after they built 15 points in first Q.

Lofton just abusing Wembanyama and other French ballers.
