The Memphis Grizzlies are scheduled to have the 16th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Let’s take a look at the Grizzlies best NBA draft picks in franchise history. Their time previously as the Vancouver Grizzlies is included. It’s not necessarily the 10 best players ranked in order as where they were selected was taken into consideration. Only time with the team is credited. We shall see if an active Grizzlies draft pick such as Zach Edey or GG Jackson II can play their way onto the list in the near future.
This spot could have went to Edey or Jackson II as well. Vince Williams Jr. has spent the longest time with the team of the three though and was drafted later than both of them. He saw action in three games of the Grizzlies first round defeat at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
While Sam Young lasted just two full seasons with Memphis, he outplayed where he was selected. He became a near full-time starter in 2010-11, a year the Grizzlies finished one win shy of the Western Conference Finals. Young scored at least 20 points on six different occasions for the Grizzlies.
Starting 74 games in his rookie year as a second round pick, Jaylen Wells has already made his way on this list. The 21-year-old had a third-place Rookie of the Year finish and found his way on the All-Rookie First Team. He had averages of 10.4 points and 3.4 rebounds.
