30. Memphis Grizzlies (19-50)

The Memphis Grizzlies have done a great job in separating themselves, somewhat, in their pursuit of the NBA’s worst record. Even though it doesn’t guarantee them the top pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, it does give them a leg up.

There are a ton of questions that the Grizzlies will need to answer this summer, and they’re actually a veteran bunch, but adding a top 3 draft talent should only bring good things for this team moving forward.

No matter if they decide to blow it up or not this summer, this top 3 pick will give them hope for the future.
