Grizzlies select Wang Zhelin with No. 57 pick

The Memphis Grizzlies selected Wang Zhelin with the No. 57 pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.

At 7-feet and 250 pounds, Zhelin has excellent size for a NBA center, and should have no problem handling NBA-level big men from a physical perspective.

After three dominant seasons in the Chinese Basketball Association, Zhelin struggled in 2015-16, seeing his scoring and rebounding average cut in half.

While skilled, Zhelin is not overly athletic and may struggle to beat more athletic defenders in the pros.

Zhelin must also work on his shot if he hopes to excel at the next level.
