Grizzlies Draft Pick in Peril

The NBA’s new three-two-one draft lottery is sparking debate — especially for the Grizzlies, whose prized pick from the Jaren Jackson Jr. trade could plummet if Utah lands a top-five selection. With a three-year top-five ban, that pick might drop into the 20s if Utah’s hot. But the Grizzlies still hold multiple high-value picks, including a first-rounder and a top-four protected pick from the Lakers — giving them a solid shot to land a strong pick in 2027. Even if Utah lands 7-10, the pick still holds value, and a healthy Grizzlies team could improve their odds. Plus, with the Lakers’ future uncertain, that protected pick might be worth more than expected. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
