Entering the draft last week, the Memphis Grizzlies were looking for a versatile wing who could produce on both ends of the floor. Coward's draft stock rose after an impressive performance at the NBA combine in May. Last season with the Cougars(should be noted it was only a seven-game sample size) he displayed strong shot-blocking ability, good overall defensive instincts and also shot 40% from beyond the arc. This combination has led some scouts to suggest Coward could fit the mold of a traditional "three and D" type of player in the NBA. Overall passing vision is also a strength of Coward's, and this could come in handy playing alongside guys like Ja Morant and Zach Edey.
