Jamaal Franklin, SG San Diego State (41)
The Grizzlies didn't have a first round pick, but got one anyway in Jamaal Franklin, how fell way to far for someone who is as talented as he is. Franklin can do everything on the floor, except for shooting, and he is an elite athlete with a terrific motor. He projects as a great perimeter defender who can slash to the rim, rebound, and make plays in transition. If the Grizzlies move on from Tony Allen, I could see Franklin stepping in from day 1 and starting at shooting guard.
Janis Timma, SF Latvia (60)
This is clearly a draft-and-stash pick for Memphis, and though Janis Timma will likely never play in the NBA, he has some upside due to his athleticism. He is a decent ball-handler who can get to the rim, but really needs to work on his shooting. Timma is 21 and will probably play in Europe for the rest of his career, but if he breaks out, the Grizzlies have his rights.
