The Memphis Grizzlies have selected their fair share of busts in recent years. They’ve had many first-round picks not work out in the NBA Draft such as Xavier Henry and Jordan Adams, but the obvious miss was the selection of Hasheem Thabeet with the 2nd overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft.
The Grizzlies lacked a wing scorer for the majority of their run over the past decade and they could’ve won championships if the 2009 Draft went differently. The very next pick was James Harden and other future stars such as Stephen Curry and Demar DeRozan were also still available.
