## Resource

The second round of the NBA draft saw the Grizzlies keep the #32 pick and draft BYU shooter Richie Saunders, then they made a move to shore up their frontcourt by acquiring shotblocker and enforcer Isaiah Stewart from the PIstons. While this was a salary dump for the Pistons, Stewart provides needed help at the center position and will continue to bolster the team's physicality and size. This episode goes over those two moves plus looks at the updated roster after the NBA draft. (ALSO: LaMelo Ball did indeed get traded to the Timberwolves) Join the listener slack at Patreon.com/FastbreakBreakfast Please subscribe to this podcast on Youtube !
