Ridiculous Upside is helping all of us hoops fanatics to pass the remainder of the offseason with a redrafting of the Class of 2001.
Washington Wizards (Bullets Forever) - Gilbert Arenas
Los Angeles Clippers (Clips Nation) - Pau Gasol
So, with the #3 pick, the Memphis Grizzlies select Joe Johnson from the University of Arkansas.
Knowing what we do about the health of Michael Dickerson, the team needs a solid backcourt player. Who better than local Little Rock, Arkansas product Joe Johnson to fit the bill with his great shooting and playmaking ability? Capable of playing and defending 3 positions, Johnson might not be a true franchise player, but he's certainly better than anyone on the Grizzlies' roster at that time. Adding him to the recently signed Jason Williams makes for an exciting backcourt with lots of fan appeal -- something that is very important in the Grizzlies inaugural season in Memphis.
Be sure to keep checking Ridiculous Upside for the rest of the 2001 Redraft.

Interesting choice since technically that was Atlanta's pick not Memphis'.
Who are you looking for at #6 which is the real Grizzlies pick and will you be making the pick the Grizzlies traded to the Hawks in that deal?
Yeah, what Chip said.
Given his cachet as a defensive glue guy, does Shane still fall to 6? Does he go later?
Hmmm . . .
