The Memphis Grizzlies had their best season since the beginning of the team’s rebuild a few years ago. They went 38-34, earned a spot in the play-in tournament, and won, sending themselves into the NBA Playoffs.
It was a strong season but set them back in the 2021 NBA Draft, where they landed at the 17th-overall spot. Even so, it never seemed like Memphis would stick with that pick, as they are seemingly a piece away from being an extremely competitive team.
