The Memphis Grizzlies are set to draft Ja Morant with the No. 2 pick, but they also have some other players they should keep an eye on in the NBA Draft.
The Memphis Grizzlies are locked in on drafting Ja Morant with the 2nd overall pick and that gives them an opportunity to focus on other areas in the NBA Draft. They don’t have a second round pick, but they still have different ways that they can get back into the draft. If they were to acquire another pick that would give them a chance to select another quality young player.
This isn’t thought of as an extremely deep class, but there certainly are good players for them to draft if they were to get an additional pick. There are a lot of good players who will be available later on in the draft and that’s a place the Grizzlies could find some young talent to add to their young core.
