Coward (back) could potentially have more competition for touches with the Grizzlies selecting Cameron Boozer with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
The second-year pro could spend more time on the wings and in the backcourt after the Grizzlies added considerable frontcourt talent. In addition to Boozer, Memphis also selected forward Karim Lopez in the first round. The Grizzlies' depth may slightly limit his usage, though Coward still offers intriguing long-term upside.
