Q: How might Cedric Coward's All-Rookie first-team honor influence Memphis' drafting strategy?

J&J Show--Hour 3 Thursday 5/21/26--The Rundown: Wembanyama, Coward Named 1st Team All Rookie, UGA Donor Bump + Drew Hill on The Barn and the Western Conference Finals!
Q: What is the potential price to move up in the draft this year compared to last year?
Drew Hill and the hosts discuss that the price could be higher this year because the draft is deeper and more valuable, suggesting teams may demand more assets to move up, possibly including extra first-round picks.
J&J Show--Hour 3 Wednesday 5/13/26---Rundown-Brandon Clarke news, Boozer v Wilson, Hardaway transfer & Ja shoes + Norton Hurd IV later in-studio
Q: When will you know, in pool play, what you need to see from your team to know this is one they can carry through pool play to win PJ?
Hurd responds that confidence is high but EYBL is unpredictable; they will assess consistency, toughness, and execution through pool games, aiming to identify if the group can sustain effort and execute against top competition.
J&J Show--Hour 2 Wednesday 5/13/26--Damichael Cole, Memphis Comm Appeal/Grizzlies Reporter, Brandon Clarke news + "Fade Brad" pick for tonight's Cavs vs. Pistons game on 92.9 FM ESPN
Q: What do you think the chances are that Ja Morant will be moved around draft time?
There's a decent chance there could be movement, with chatter from Chicago and league sources suggesting potential interest, though the Grizzlies have maintained firm price points and have historically been strategic about when to pull off trades.
J&J Show--Hour 3 Monday 5/11/26--J&J discuss the latest ESPN Mock Draft & Pacers blowing their pick/trade + Drew Hill later discussing the #3 pick
Q: Could the Grizzlies trade up or down from No. 3 to optimize their haul?
The hosts discuss the potential strategic moves, noting that moving up could net another valuable asset if a guard or forward is desired, but trade-up would require convincing teams to move down and may depend on how the top four shakes out.
