Draft Lottery

As I'm writing this there are 1 day, 18 hours, 40 minutes, and 15 seconds left until the Grizzlies find out where they will be selecting in this years NBA Draft. I'm extremely nervous right now, because the Grizzlies have the opportunity to get one of the two biggest can't miss prospects in the NBA draft since Lebron and Melo in 2003. These prospects are Greg Oden and Kevin Durant.

-Greg Oden is considered by just about everyone to be the next dominant center in the NBA. He had a phenomenal freshman year at Ohio State, even though he played one handed for the majority of the season. Oden's 7' frame, long arms, and leaping ability make him a monster on both sides of the floor. He is considered by many to be the number one pick in this year's draft, but may fall to number two.

-Kevin Durant is another freshman phenom who is entering the draft early. KD owned everyone in the college basketball world this year. He got voted freshman of the year, player of the year, and got named to every All-American team around. He's a 6'11 small forward who will provide many matchup problems around the league.

Depending on the bounce of the ping pong balls, the Grizzlies should be in line to draft one of these two players and get on track to turning the franchise around.
