After Celtics trade, Grizzlies select Rade Zagorac with the 35th pick
STARSPORT
After a trade with the Boston Celtics, the Memphis Grizzlies have selected Serbia's Rade Zagorac with the 35th pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.
At 6-foot-9, Zagorac has terrific size and length for a small forward, while his athleticism and explosiveness make him one of the most dynamic wings in the draft.
Zagoric's a talented scorer, and could one day become a reliable offensive player should he continue to develop his jump shot. He's a strong rebounder and an underrated passer for his size.
The Serbian forward lacks lateral quickness, and will likely struggle at the defensive end at the pro level. However, his competitiveness and length could prevent him from becoming a liability.
