The NBA draft combine in Chicago has been a whirlwind for the Memphis Grizzlies, and the team is already making moves that could shape their future on the court. After a lucky bounce at the May 10 draft lottery—where they secured the third overall pick for the 2026 NBA Draft—the Grizzlies have been busy scouting top talent at Wintrust Arena and the Marriott Marquis.

Among the prospects meeting with Memphis are some of the biggest names in the draft class: Cameron Boozer, AJ Dybantsa, and Darryn Peterson. These interviews, combined with drills and scrimmages, give the Grizzlies a closer look at players who could bring new energy to the lineup.

Memphis holds a unique advantage this year, as they're the only team with three picks in the top 35—selections at No. 3, No. 16, and No. 32. That kind of draft capital puts the front office in a strong position to build depth or make a splash trade.

General manager Zach Kleiman and head coach Tuomas Iisalo are expected to continue meeting with prospects over the next few weeks, with multiple workouts already on the calendar leading up to June 23. For Grizzlies fans, this draft could be a pivotal moment in the team's journey back to contention.
