Grizzlies:

In the famous 2003 draft (LeBron) the Grizzlies had a top 1 protected pick. They jumped up 4 places in the lottery to 2nd and had to give their pick to Detroit. At least they took Darko, so it isn't as frustrating.

They had the best odds in the 07 draft (Durant) and fell to 4th. They took Conley, so that at least worked out.

The Thabeet draft is a killer. Harden and Curry were taken after him. Harden on a team with Conley, Zbo, and Gasol would be ridiculous.

In 2012 a lot of people around the city wanted the Grizz to take Draymond and they took Tony Wroten.

The Grizzlies had a trade in place with Indiana that would send OJ Mayo to Indiana for McRoberts and a 1st round pick. They sent the fax in too late to the league office, so the trade never happened. That pick ended up going to San Antonio, who then drafted Kawhi Leonard.

Drafted Kevin Love and traded him for OJ Mayo.

They had Hassan Whiteside in summer league and the preseason this year.
