This was a tough one too. So many good players still on the board - I want them all!

With their 3rd round selection, the Memphis Grizzlies select...



Manu Ginobili!
Best player available on the board, imo. Not sure about the fit next to Kobe tbh.
I think the offensive fit will be fine. Manu was a very active mover off the ball and was a good shooter/extra passer, so he'll fit well next to almost any on-ball star (he fit really well with Duncan in the mid-2000s when the Spurs were still playing Duncan-ball).
Jaylen Brown for All-NBA

Peja was the other guy I was looking at. Could've spoilt Moranis' party! Great player

I knew Somebody was going to take Draymond at some stage. Felt it in my bones ;D

I thought about Draymond as well.  Probably would have taken him had my top 3 guys left.  I think he'd have been very good playing next to Malone.  I would worry about his size playing center full time like that, but not many centers would really worry me in this so I think it would have worked alright.

I would have just taken Manu then, been a little sad, but still felt very good about the selection.

If he was available in the next round I was going to take him, can't blame you at all there. Not only is he an elite defender but he was an elite passer and at his best was a pretty decent knock-down shooter. Can fit into basically any team

Well, there goes my guy
I was sure you were going to take Mark Price in the 2nd. 100% certain. I was so convinced I was unprepared when you didn't take him!

Reggie Miller was on my radar but he was behind Ginobili. Reggie was the next player on my list after Gervin & Manu.

We like too many of the same players! And Doc and Giannis have a lot of common as building blocks too. Only increases the chances of going after the same guys.

Great minds and all that. Round 3 is the round of the balding white foreign baller!

Yeah I love his fit with Gobert in the frontcourt, they're going to be tough to score on while being okay on offence.

Whole team of nasty defensive minded players who are going to tell you all about it. Wonder who you'll take in your back-court

Liking all the picks so far. I was deciding between Manu and Dumars. Peja and Price were both high on my list as well.

I have my guy lined up if CFF doesn't take him :-\. He's a bit more quiet than the three I've selected, but he's a grinder nonetheless.

Right now you have almost no shooting. Play the zone against your team and they are sunk.

But it will be tough to score on them
