Grizzlies Draft Richie Saunders at 32

Memphis Grizzlies snagged Richie Saunders at 32nd overall after a whirlwind first round, trading away their 16th pick to land him — a seasoned shooter from BYU who turns 25 this fall. Though Bleacher Report gave the pick a B-minus citing his ACL recovery, Saunders brings energy, shooting, and maturity to a rebuilding roster. With Ja Morant’s future uncertain, Saunders offers a reliable, experienced complement to Memphis’ young wings. His ceiling isn’t elite, but at this draft spot, he’s a smart gamble — and the Grizzlies will get a closer look in the Summer League.
