Josh Selby saw his draft stock plummet last year as NBA teams took note of several off-court issues they thought might be too distracting to deal with once he made the jump to playing professional basketball. The Memphis Grizzlies took a chance on him in the second round, where they were able to get good value based on his talent, but Selby’s off-court issues apparently popped up[...]

Memphis Grizzlies draftee Josh Selby has stated that although he would have liked to go straight into the NBA after being drafted, he doesn’t worry too much about the current NBA lockout. The players and owners are at loggerheads over a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), leaving rookies like Selby in the dark without any NBA contracts, but Selby says he can get by [...]

When the swap was made by the Los Angeles Lakers trading Marc Gasol and essentially a bunch of spare parts and a couple draft picks for his older brother Pau Gasol, it was widely regarded as one of the biggest steals in NBA History.

The Grizzlies took Hasheem Thabeet with the second overall pick in the 2009 draft. Since being drafted, Thabeet has shown that there is still a lot of work to be done and who knows when he will actually make an impact.

Thabeet was a solid player while attending Connecticut and was known to be a top-five selection.

Zach Randolph: Randolph plays for the Memphis Grizzlies so you probably won’t get to see him on nationally televised games unless you have the NBA League Pass package with your cable or satellite company. Nevertheless, this 6-foot-9 forward has been putting up mind-numbing numbers. Last week he was a beast in the fantasy world. I’m [...]

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. What remains for a 9-time All-Star that has a 27.1ppg. career average? According to the offers he’s received this off season, not much.
Allen Iverson, now 34-years-old, was once the most prolific scorer in the NBA, not he’s been reduced to nothing more than another guy on the roster.
Since leaving [...]
