The Memphis Grizzlies signed first round picks Xavier Henry and Greivis Vasquez to multi-year contracts, Grizzlies General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations Chris Wallace announced today.  

?It?s great to have both Xavier and Greivis signed and in the fold now,? Wallace said. ?They?re both very bright young men from tremendous college programs. We think they can definitely help our team.

?Xavier has an advantage in that he has an NBA body. He can make shots. That?s his main strength right now. He?s also a very mature, heady young man from a terrific basketball family.

?Greivis is a player coming off a fantastic senior year at Maryland, where he won the Bob Cousy Award as the top playmaker in the country and the ACC Player of the Year. He was an across-the-board player in college. He scored, rebounded, assisted, and got steals. He just needs to come in and play that all-around game, and also show the passion that was his trademark in college."
