With the NBA draft being two weeks away, the Memphis Grizzlies have a plethora of options to pick from at the 16th overall pick. General Manager Zach Klieman has a history of selecting solid players regardless of draft order and must continue that trend this year. However, the one prospect Klimean flew out of the country to go scout is Karim Lopez, and Lopez is exactly who Memphis should avoid selecting at 16. Lopez is a 19-year-old, 6'9 forward who played two seasons in the Australian National Basketball League (NBL) for the New Zealand Breakers. Last season, he averaged 11.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.0 blocks per game. During the draft process, Lopez's projected position has fluctuated up and down. Mock drafts have projected him anywhere between late-lottery and late first round. Lopez impressed scouts with his physical attributes and extensive pro-level experience. He had success last year as he helped the New Zealand Breakers reach the NBL playoffs. However, Lopez's lack of experience in the NBA and his inconsistent play make him a risk for the Memphis Grizzlies. The team needs players who can contribute immediately and help them make a deep run in the playoffs. Lopez's development will take time, and the Grizzlies cannot afford to wait. They need players who can make an impact right away, and Lopez is not that player. The Memphis Grizzlies should avoid selecting Karim Lopez at the 16th overall pick and look for other options who can help them win now.
