By the conclusion of the Memphis Grizzlies’ pre-Draft workouts on Monday, June 15th, the Front Office is starting to sort out all the talent they have seen thus far.

The prospects are coming in. The reports are being generated. The Memphis Grizzlies are looking to choose wisely for whom they decide to use their 25th overall selection in the 2015 NBA Draft.

Monday was no different than any of the Grizzlies’ previous groups of pre-Draft workouts. They brought in more guards along with a few frontcourt studs.

For highlights and a one-on-one interview with Grizzlies’ General Manager Chris Wallace from Monday’s pre-Draft workouts, check out the following tweet from the Memphis Grizzlies Twitter account.

Based off of this latest interview with Wallace, you can tell that the Memphis Grizzlies’ Front Office may select a player based off of the “best available” strategy.

The Grizz may wind up desperately needing at least one solid center while needing a consistent scorer at the small forward position. The squad could possibly use a seasoned point guard that could provide support to Mike Conley. Plus, Zach Randolph is getting up there in years and the club will soon need to decide whether Jarnell Stokes is the man to fill the power forward position or if they will need to look elsewhere.

It sounds as if Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Robert Upshaw, or Dakari Johnson will be the Grizzlies’ guy at No. 25; however, there is a long way to go until June 25th’s NBA Draft. Things could change entirely–even in the minutes leading up to NBA Commissioner Adam Silver announcing the pick.

Each day will become more and more interesting as June 25th draws near and the groups of prospects continue to roll through the Grindhouse.
