6299, The Memphis Grizzlies select Mickael Pietrus
Posted by MrJames65, Wed Jun-11-03 03:37 AM
6'6" shooting guard, France.

The scouting reports have pietrus as the most athletic of the euros and arguably the most athletic 2 in the draft. The Grizz have an athletic frontcourt w/ miller, swift, wright, gasol, and batiste.
The really don't have a dribble penetrator w/ athleticsm that can break down defenses. Battier and Wes Person don't scare people off the dribble and that hurts Gasol's effectiveness in the post.
I dunno about his defense, which seems to be the Grizz' biggest problem. If their looking to go up-tempo, tho, this could be the guy.

I looked at centers, but they're stiffs and I'm not sold on that Kaman kid at all.

I'm looking to trade the 27th pick if someone will take either shane battier, ryan humphrey, and/or brevin knight.

solidant and the Sonics are back on the clock
