No love for Bryant Reeves surprised me. For his career starts and stats, he should have gotten top ten.

Yes, Trip, he was on the list. He was #48. I didn't agree with it, but it's the people's list and not mine. Here were other selections I didn't like. The ones I highlighted in red I thought should have been lower, and the ones in blue I thought should have been higher. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Wave:</div><div class="quote_post"> <font color="Red">9.Wesley Person - (Rnd.18, 6 out of 10 votes 13.Brevin Knight - (Rnd.17, 6 out of 10 votes) 15.Earl Watson - (Rnd.17, 6 out of 10 votes) 16.Tony Massenburg - (Rnd.17, 9 out of 10 votes) 17.George Lynch - (Rnd.16, 7 out of 13 votes) 18.Aaron Williams - (Rnd.16, 9 out of 13 votes) 19.Troy Bell - (Rnd.15, 9 out of 13 votes) 20.Mike Batiste - (Rnd.16, 12 out of 13 votes)</font> <font color="Red">27.Ryan Humphrey - (Rnd.14, 5 out of 7 votes) 37.Dahntay Jones - (Rnd.11, 3 out of 9 votes) 45.Antonis Fotsis - (Rnd.9, 2 out of 4 votes) 46.Willie Solomon - (Rnd.9, 3 out of 4 votes)</font> <font color="Blue">48.Bryant Reeves - (Rnd.9, 3 out of 4 votes)</font> <font color="Red">54.Czezary Trybanski - (Rnd.7, 5 out of 12 votes)</font> <font color="Blue">75.Isaac Austin - (Rnd.2, 3 out of 6 votes)</font> </div>
Austin at 75? How could I miss that? He should have been listed higher, especially since he was a good scorer and a good part of a second unit. Btw, was this poll based on the players' careers or their play during their time with the Grizz?

here is my assement of players 20-80 20.Mike Batiste - Plays in Greece Now 21.Othella Harrington - apparentley hated living in Vancouver so we dumped him on New York for Erick Strickland 22.Roy Rogers - Shot Blocker who the Grizzlies traded for Massenburg and a 2nd who turned out to be Sam Mack 23.Greg Anthony - Watch him on ESPN,was a steady starting PG when the Grizzlies had him 24.Felipe Lopez - could have been good 6th man, but injury's ruined his career 25.Erick Strickland - traded Othella for him,but bolted from them after the season 26.Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf -backed up Bibby and did good but didnt get a contract from an NBA team the next season 27.Ryan Humphrey - might be an Etan Thomas type player someday 28.Brent Price - not to be confused with his bro Mark,had one good NBA season and overpaid and disapointing after that 29.Grant Long - journeyman PF's who managed to carve out a Nice NBA carrer,play good for the Grizzlies 30.Doug West - traded for Peeler and one of the biggest mistakes of Jackson's tenure 31.Damon Jones - should be thankful to the Grizz for giving him an NBA shot 32.Rodney Buford - Just signed with Nets,met the guy in real life,he has talent to stick in this league 33.Eric Mobley - See number 65 34.Kevin Edwards - starting caliber SG at one time who had serious injurys but managed to give the Grizz some points 35.Milt Palacio - managed to find a niche in O'Neill's Raptors 36.Nick Anderson - Nice guy but was trash by the time the Grizzlies got him 37.Dahntay Jones - Will probably never be a scorer 38.Eddie Gill - just signed with the Pacers,overshadowed by Earl Watson 39.Dennis Scott - 3-D wasnt the answer the Grizzlies thought he would be 40.Moochie Norris - Nice PG but overpaid now 41.Otis Thorpe - We gave up the rights to Darko for this guy 42.Terry Dehere - Nice combo guard who got some time on the low talent grizzlies squad 43.Lee Mayberry - PG who had a medium sized NBA career 44.Sam Mack - 3 point specialist who Stu Jackson was obsessed with 45.Antonis Fotsis - Cocky SOB who is a better suited overseas 46.Willie Solomon - Nice Guy,met him at a grizzlies fan rally,plays overseas now 47.Michael Smith - Rebounding Machine the Grizzlies traded Otis Thorpe for 48.Bryant Reeves - Poor guy,at least he is rich 49.Theodore “Blue” Edwards -Padded his stats on the Grizzlies,wasnt the player his stats showed,but managed to knock up a hot white women 50.Jason Sasser - never played a game in the NBA 51.J.R. Henderson -2nd round rookie played because the Grizzlies had so very little talent that year 52.Byron Scott - was the Grizzlies lone positive lockerroom presence in their expansion year 53.Rhodrick Rhodes - versitile SG who's career was cut short 54.Czezary Trybanski - Dont get me started 55.Makhtar N'Diaye - Tarheel who just was too raw 56.Eric Murdock - great defensive PG who managed to stick around with the Heat and Nets 57.Antoine Carr - Big Dawg was in the twilight of his career when he reached the Grizz 58.Lawrence Moten - 2 guard who just couldnt stick in the NBA 59.Pete Chilcutt - Reminds me of a Ryan Bowen type player 60.Gerald Wilkins -Stayed on the IR most of his season with the Grizzlies his first season because of serious knee problems 61.Robert Archibald - My friend met this guy and he likes to drink since he is Irish. 62.Elliot Perry - Memphis Native who was just happy to get to play for his hometeam,servicable backup PG at one time 63.Ivano Newbill - Grizzlies thought he could contribute,boy were they wrong 64.Larry Robinson - worthless scrub 65.Eric Mobley - A poor man's Jerome James who had injurys ruin his career 66.DeJuan Wheat -small PG who couldnt make it in the NBA 67.Kenny Gattison -Starting PF for Grizzlies first 20 or so games,retired and became a assistant coach after the season for the Nets 68.Chris King - Scored 1st ever points for the Grizzlies,had a good season but never made it for a 2nd 69.Doug Edwards -Contract was an albatross around the Grizzlies neck during their first years 70.Chris Owens - Jesse Owen's grandnephew,injurys prevented his NBA career from starting 71.Anthony Avent -Orlando dumped him on the Grizzlies in 95,horrible FG percentage for a PF 72.Cherokee Parks - He was a serviceable backup to Reeves at the time 73.Isaac Fontaine - NBDL lifetime callup 74.Chris Robinson - did ok with the Grizzlies and Kings before overstaying his time in the NBA 75.Isaac Austin - Ben Wallace and Jeff McInnis were traded for this guy at one time 76.Rich Manning - A poor man's greg foster,that should tell you something 77.Obinna Ekezie -Career 3rd string PF,did ok with Washington and Los Angeles Clippers 78.Eric Leckner -Was close to total trash by the time he made it to the Grizzlies 79.Cuonzo Martin -Undrafted Rookie who didnt have the skills to stick in the NBA 80.Ashraf Amaya -Played for the 1998 USA World Championship Games during the NBA lockout
I have pictures of Archibald and Battier in a Memphis bar. Shane lost an arm wrestl that he was challenged to. Anway, Damon Jones is the only good one on that list. Jes', we used to suck. How did I ever cheer for those teams?
Blue Edwards was a solid contributer...He's way too low on that list...I agree with the poster above me, how in the world did Troy Bell get voted above Greg Anthony...
Shareef made one all-star team right? Was it with this team? If it was he has been the only player to make it from the Grizz organization right? Or did Pau make it last year? Man I'm thinking he did but then again I think I'm just imagining things.
Wutever happened to Big Country? I always remembered hearing about his stats, since he was one of the few people who could score for them, and then he just disappeared.
Big Country was crippled by injury. He was much maligned because of his look and his laid-back style, but he was a quality player. Definitely deserved to go top 10.
