SECAUCUS, N.J. (AP) -- The Memphis Grizzlies drew the fourth pick Tuesday night in the NBA draft.

They had a 25 percent chance of landing the top pick --- likely Greg Oden or Kevin Durant --- two players regarded as good enough to turn a team around in a hurry.

Memphis just finished with a league-worst 22-60 record.

Portland will draft first, followed in order by Seattle and Atlanta and then Memphis.
