It was unclear last night whether the first-round pick acquired by the Wizards will be in the 2008 for '09 draft. According to sources, the draft pick likely will be lottery-protected, meaning Memphis would keep the pick if it falls in the top 14.
Should the Grizzlies, who finished 22-60 last season, wind up in the lottery again next season, the draft pick likely would shift to the following year and be protected for only the top three selections, meaning the Wizards would keep the pick as long as Memphis didn't wind up with one of the top three picks.

I'm not too excited about next years draft except for Roy Hibbert and possible OJ Mayo, whom both will go early anyways. So I hoping the Grizzlies do fall into the lottery thus giving us a better pick the following year, baring Memphis doesn't get even worse.
