After getting selected as the tenth overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, Ziaire Williams was immediately traded to the Memphis Grizzlies to become part of a team with a bright future. That season, they instantly rose to new heights and captured the number two seed in the Western Conference, with the 20-year-old rookie as a big part of the rotation. Williams got to see playoff action right away and scored four points on two highlight-reel alley-oop dunks in his first postseason game on April 16, 2022. The Grizzlies advanced to the second round and the small forward reached double digits in three different contests throughout that year’s playoffs. The next season, Memphis again secured the number two seed, giving Williams another playoff appearance. With the Grizzlies’ exciting young core, he should get plenty more postseason experience in the upcoming years to build on what he has already achieved.
