Rade Zagorac: Agrees to contract with Grizzlies

Zagorac, a 6-foot-9 forward who the Grizzlies drafted with the 35th overall pick
in the 2016 NBA Draft, has spent the last six years with KK Mega Leks in the
Liga ABA in Serbia. Last season with Mega Leks, Zagorac averaged 15.0 points,
6.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.4 steals across 29.4 minutes, which was enough
to convince the Grizzlies to bring him over to the United States. He should slot
in as depth at the two forward positions in Memphis and provides another option
that can shoot the ball from all over the floor, but his ability to play defense
could be the biggest factor in how much playing time he sees during his rookie
campaign. We should get a better idea of his role once training camp gets
underway.
