Rookie Fit Preview: Grizzlies’ New Group Will Impact In First Season – NBA Draft Digest

  • by

One of the breakout squads of last season, the Memphis Grizzlies will again look to insert themselves into NBA Playoff contention.

Armed with four new draftees, the Grizzlies will continue to lean on their developmental approach that helped players like Ja Morant, Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. blossom.

The Rookie Class

Jake LaRavia (F | No. 19 Overall)

A combo forward who lacks elite athleticism and speed but makes up for it with a solid shooting stroke and fundamentals across the board.

David Roddy (F | No. 23 Overall)

An undersized forward who has a knack for playmaking and ball-handling, Roddy is a highly offensive product who can fill a variety of roles.
