The 2026 NBA Draft is over, and the Memphis Grizzlies have entered the official offseason with seven new players.
The franchise selected Cameron Boozer and Karim Lopez in the first round of the draft, Richie Saunders in the second round, and then traded for Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart. The Grizzlies also signed Michigan State center Carson Cooper to a two-way contract.

Today, Grizzlies reporter Drew Hill is here to talk about it.
