With such a fantastic set of NBA playoff games over the past few weeks, it’s easy to have forgotten that we are just one month away from the 2019 NBA Draft. The draft combine is coming up in just a few days and scouts and GMs will be able to get a better look at many players.
The Memphis Grizzlies are in an interesting position in the draft this year. If their pick falls in the top eight, it’s theirs. If not, it goes to the Boston Celtics.
