Grizzlies’ draft options center around Marc Gasol’s decision
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) – Not knowing what All-Star center Marc Gasol will do as a free agent leaves the Memphis Grizzlies facing a variety of options of what they could do in the NBA Draft.
Their ongoing search for a long-range shooter continues and now they might be in the market for their first center in years with Gasol determined to explore free agency and backup Kosta Koufos also hitting the market July 1.
Memphis holds the No. 25 pick Thursday night, having swapped the second-round pick to New Orleans in January as part of a three-team trade that brought forward Jeff Green from Boston. Green picked up his option for next season.
General manager Chris Wallace says anything can happen past the 20th pick.
