Memphis Commercial Appeal

NBA draft week is here. Soon, all of the questions on one of the most unpredictable draft classes in recent memory will be answered. Teams like the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs have major control over the direction of Wednesday’s first round (7 p.m., ESPN/ABC). Houston has a No. 3 pick that it has reportedly been shopping, while San Antonio owns two top-eight selections. On the player front, UConn center Donovan Clingan could go anywhere from one to nine. When and where he lands will likely dictate the picks to follow. One team that has interest in Clingan is the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies don’t have many glaring holes heading into this draft, but he would fill one of them. Could they get their hands on Clingan all the way down at nine, or would it take some reshuffling on the draft board?
