Bryant “Big Country” Reeves was the first ever draft pick for the Vancouver Grizzlies, and embodied the kind of grit that the team still takes pride in to this day despite having moved to Memphis. But Big Country failed to capitalize on a strong start to his career, disappointing the team that took him into the league eventually.

Reeves averaged 16.3 points per game and 7.9 boards in 1997-1998, but saw his minutes decrease in every year after that until he was out of the league, with his conditioning being a major concern.
