Former lottery pick Nikoloz Tskitishvili was among several players that worked out for the Grizzles on Monday.

Tskitishvili was taken fifth overall by the Nuggets in the 2002 draft, and last played in the NBA in 2006.

"Why not?" Tskitishvili said of the workout.

Memphis went into the workout with the same thought process.

"We figured why not take a shot?" general manager Chris Wallace said. "Maybe there's something there."

Other players that participated in the workouts included former Tennessee guard Chris Lofton and ex-Griz forward Andre Brown.
