The Grizzlies acquired the draft rights to 35th pick Andre Emmett from the Seattle SuperSonics in exchange for a second round pick in 2005 and cash considerations, and also acquired the draft rights to 36th pick Antonio Burks from the Orlando Magic in exchange for cash considerations. In addition, the Grizzlies selected Sergei Lishouk from Ukraine with the 49th pick in the NBA Draft.
“We are delighted to acquire what we perceive as two of the best athletes in the draft in Andre Emmett and Antonio Burks,” said Memphis Grizzlies President of Basketball Operations Jerry West. “As a staff, coaches included, we wanted athletes, and both Andre and Antonio are complete players. In Sergei we acquire a big forward who we feel will eventually be able to provide a rebounding presence for our team.”
