In today's Memphis newspaper, Jerry West was quoted as saying he's never been happier coming out of a draft night than he was this year. He really thinks that Rudy Gay, Kyle Lowry, and Alexander Johnson can contribute this season. He said Gay is almost a shoe-in as an all-star (he addressed and dismissed the knock on Gay about disappearing during games), Lowry can play right away, and he'd take Johnson ahead of some of the guys who were picked high in the first round.
So my question pertains to, is there a historical precedent in the NBA of a team being instantly improved with the addition of multiple impact rookies? And how far can it take the Grizz this year?
