MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- The Memphis Grizzlies have selected LSU forward Jarell Martin with their first-round pick in the NBA draft.
The 6-foot-10 Martin was the 25th overall selection.
He was an honorable mention Associated Press All-America selection this past season. He averaged 16.9 points and 9.2 rebounds to rank third in the Southeastern Conference in both categories.
Martin will give the Grizzlies another double-double candidate in points and rebounds to complement veteran power forward Zach Randolph. Martin had 15 double-doubles last season, including five in his final seven games.
