MEMPHIS – It’s hardly an ideal situation, but Chris Wallace admits the Grizzlies are far from idle.

For now, the longtime Memphis general manager and his front-office staff will head into Thursday’s NBA Draft without a selection among the 60 that will be made over the course of two rounds in New York. It’s the first time the Grizzlies have been without either a first or second-round pick in franchise history.

Still, the work continues in the days leading to draft night.

“Look, I’ve got a little Mel Kiper blood in me – I love the draft,” Wallace joked Monday in comparing his passion to that of ESPN’s renowned NFL Draft analyst.
