Since there are two draftees who are perceived to be head and shoulders above the rest of the 2007 draft class, most fan focus has been on getting either one of the first two picks and that’s understandable. It’s only human nature: first choice, great; second choice, okay; third choice, um, can I get back to you?
You kind of get the vibe if the Grizzlies don’t get one of the top two picks in the draft, the 2007-08 season and the franchise’s future is somehow a lost cause.
