Maryland's Vasquez goes 28th to Memphis!

Greivis Vasquez went in the first round of the NBA Draft tonight to the Memphis Grizzlies with the 28th overall pick. Vasquez who had a solid senior season averaging 19.6 points per game while grabbing 4.6 rebounds and dishing out 6.3 assists a game. This pick gave the Grizzlies another guard as they drafted guards with the 12th and 25th picks also. Vasquez has to prove he is ready for the NBA as the team has proven young star O.J. Mayo slotted in at the 2 guard position.

The pick was a odd selection for the Grizzlies as they had selected two guards earlier in the draft. The reason could be he was the best player left on the board or they could use one as trade bait eventually. For Vasquez though its a chance to take his game to the next level!
