The Memphis Grizzlies are set to make some big moves—or at least hope for some lottery luck—when the NBA draft lottery takes place on May 10 in Chicago. Representing the team in the high-stakes event will be two key front office figures: general manager Zach Kleiman and vice president Tayshaun Prince.

Kleiman, who also serves as president of basketball operations, will take his spot in the drawing room. That means he’ll get a firsthand look at the lottery results as they unfold, well before the rest of us see them on TV. The broadcast is set for 2 p.m. CT on ABC, and you can bet Kleiman will be watching those ping-pong balls with intense focus.

Meanwhile, Prince will be the team’s on-stage representative during the televised portion of the event. This isn’t his first time in the spotlight for this role—he was also on stage back in 2024, when the Grizzlies landed the ninth overall pick. Prince has been with the Grizzlies since 2019, bringing both experience and a familiar face to the proceedings.

Both Kleiman and Prince have been cornerstones of the Grizzlies’ front office since 2019, and their presence at the lottery underscores the team’s commitment to building through the draft. For Grizzlies fans, this is more than just a TV event—it’s a potential turning point for the franchise’s future.
