Slam Dunk Central 2009 NBA Mock Draft

Posted by Stephen Rhodes under Slam Dunk NBA Draft Central 

Got the Los Angeles Clippers pick and prediction out of the way; that was the easy part.  From now until #30, it only gets harder.  The Memphis Grizzlies are officially on the clock.

Memphis Grizzlies

Strengths: Center, small forward, shooting guard

Weaknesses: Point guard

Inside Skinny: The Memphis Grizzlies remind me of “the little girl with the curl”; when they’re good, they’re very good.  When they’re bad, they stink.  But nonetheless, they have a nice, young nucleus with Rudy Gay, O.J. Mayo and Marc Gasol.  Don’t get me wrong, Mike Conley is a nice, complementary point guard.  Perhaps that is the problem.  If Memphis expects to get to that next level, they need a court-savvy point guard who is NBA-ready and not a project.

The Memphis Grizzlies select: Ricky Rubio, Spain
