NBA professional basketball team season
The
2002β03 NBA season was the Grizzlies' 8th season in the
National Basketball Association, and their second season in
Memphis.
[1] In the
2002 NBA draft, the Grizzlies selected
Drew Gooden from the
University of Kansas with the fourth overall pick,
[2]
[3]
[4]
[5] and acquired
Wesley Person from the
Cleveland Cavaliers.
[6] In their second season in Memphis, the Grizzlies got off to a rocky start losing their first eight games, as head coach
Sidney Lowe resigned and replaced with 69-year old
Hubie Brown, who last coached the
New York Knicks midway through the
1986β87 season. The Grizzlies continued to struggle under Brown losing their next five games. This would lead to a 13-game
losing streak before defeating the
Washington Wizards 85β74 on November 23. At midseason, the team traded rookies Gooden and
Gordan GiriΔek to the
Orlando Magic in exchange for
Mike Miller.
[7]
[8] The Grizzlies finished sixth in the Midwest Division with a 28β54 record.
[9] Second-year star
Pau Gasol led the team with 19.0 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game.
[10]
Despite their awful season, the Grizzlies would lose their chance to pick second in the
2003 NBA draft to the
Detroit Pistons, who had lost in the Eastern Conference Finals to the
New Jersey Nets in the
playoffs. Following the season,
Brevin Knight was traded to the
Phoenix Suns, and
Michael Dickerson retired after just five seasons in the NBA due to continuing injuries.
