Grizzlies Pre-Draft Workouts: Day 4

By andrew.berry On June 19, 2012 · 1 Comment · In June 2012

Yesterday I visited the Grizzlies 4th pre-draft workout. Although five players were supposed to participate, Darius Miller was injured early and did not partake in the majority of the workout. The 4 players who did work out were:

William Buford, Senior, Ohio State, Shooting Guard

Dominique Ferguson, Sophomore, Florida International, Forward

Evan Fournier, France, Shooting Guard/ Small Forward

Augustus Gilchrist, Senior, South Florida, Power Forward/Center

Buford, Fournier, and Miller are all potential first round picks who have tremendous upsides while [...]

Rudy Gay Vs. The World

While the big news for Grizzlies fans this week is obviously Robert Pera becoming the team’s new owner, the question of whether or not Rudy Gay will be traded is still on the minds of many of us.

Robert Pera: Brian Davis or Mark Cuban… More Questions than Answers

The initial reports came back that he is 34 years old and a technology “magnate”, whatever that is, who lives in Northern [...]

Time for Memphis to Show it Belongs

Michael Heisley has a contract to sell the Memphis Grizzlies to Robert Pera, a hotshot young internet tycoon. It has been reported that the local ownership is not going to stand in the way of the sale.

This shouldn’t surprise anyone. The local ownership walked away from the team years ago when they traded their equity stake in the team to cover operating losses on the franchise.

The good news is Memphis Grizzlies fans don’t need local ownership. It has always [...]

3SOB Draft Spotlight: Andrew Nicholson

By Red Coleman On June 12, 2012 · 4 Comments · In June 2012

With the draft quickly approaching, we here at 3 Shades of Blue figured it was time to start taking a closer look at the players that the Grizzlies might be interested in at their current draft position in the #25 spot. Now, through multiple conversations over the past few years with Grizzlies’ VP Chris Wallace, we have a pretty good idea of what he’s looking for when it comes to evaluating talent — especially late in the first round. The [...]
