NBADraft.net- http://draftday.nbadraft.net/draft-time-instant-analysis [First Round] 2. Hasheem Thabeet | Connecticut Now that Mr. Foregone Conclusion is wearing his L.A. Clippers hat, the real intrigue can begin. The Memphis Grizzlies have held the key to the rest of the draft since the lottery order was decided six weeks ago. Will they trade the pick, or will they take Hasheem Thabeet, Ricky Rubio, James Harden, even Tyreke Evans? Nobody knew for certain until now. Thabeet, the enormous shot-blocker out of UConn by way of Tanzania, will be heading to Tennessee. He will be a beast on the defensive end and contribute immediately with his shot-blocking, but the Grizz must prepare to play four-on-five offensively until he learns a couple of post moves. Also, what does this mean for Marc Gasol -- a player Memphis GM Chris Wallace called “the key” to his infamous Pau Gasol deal? Does Memphis have another trade or two in the works? 27. DeMarre Carroll | Missouri The Grizzlies drafted center Hasheem Thabeet with the 2nd overall pick, giving them a possible starting team of Thabeet and Marc Gasol as big men, and Mike Conley, O.J. Mayo, and Rudy Gay around the perimeter. Now drafting for the 2nd time in the first round, they select DeMarre Carroll who should be able to earn minutes right away at both forward positions. Carroll has incredible energy and is a very tough kid, but this is far too high for him. Carroll is an undrafted free agent type of talent and with guys like DaJuan Summers on the board a very questionable pick. [Second Round] 36. Sam Young -- Memphis grabs the solid, hard-nosed Sam Young at 36. What you see is what you get with Young -- a really crafty scorer who is as tough as anyone in the draft. He’s kind of trapped between the shooting guard and small forward, but he has a better chance of contributing than DeMarre Carroll.

Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley really wanted to improve their defense and Thabeet does that. He's the best shot-blocker in the draft and if he ever develops any offense, he could be a dominant big. I'm skeptical, but understand why they took Thabeet. 27 Memphis (from Orlando) DeMarre Carroll 6-8 207 PF Missouri I love this pick for the Grizzlies. He's a great energy player who flies up and down the floor, can handle the ball and creates havoc on the defensive end. He's a more skilled version of Renaldo Balkman. [Second Round] 6 (36) Memphis Sam Young 6-7 223 SF Pittsburgh Young is a great pick for the Grizzlies here. He's tough, and he can play multiple positions. I'm stunned he fell this far. I guess teams were concerned about the fact that he's already 24 years old. -- http://nfsnfs.pixnet.net 灰熊。紅襪。阿森納。 http://nfstry.blogspot.com 海邊。天空 http://www.anobii.com/nfsnfs/books 我的anobii。 --
