From Rocky Top to the NBA: Jahmai Mashack Drafted by Memphis Grizzlies with Final Pick of 2025 NBA Draft

In a dramatic and emotional conclusion to the 2025 NBA Draft, Tennessee Volunteers standout Jahmai Mashack heard his name called as the final pick, landing with the Memphis Grizzlies. Though selected last, Mashack’s journey is anything but forgettable. His selection is a celebration of heart, hustle, and perseverance—a perfect example of how the NBA Draft’s final call can still launch a story of greatness.

For Mashack, this moment is the reward of years of gritty work, unwavering commitment, and a relentless desire to get better. While many players might overlook being picked last, Mashack sees it as fuel—a golden opportunity to defy expectations and prove his value on the biggest stage in basketball.

A Defensive Dynamo with Endless Motor

Throughout his college career at Tennessee, Jahmai Mashack carved out a reputation as a defensive bulldog and a relentless competitor. At 6-foot-5 with a strong frame and elite lateral quickness, Mashack consistently took on the toughest defensive assignments in the SEC. Whether it was locking down opposing scorers, diving for loose balls, or pushing the pace in transition, he was the type of player coaches love—and opponents dread.

Though not always the headline grabber, Mashack brought consistency and energy to every game. He improved each year, expanding his offensive arsenal and earning increased playing time. His ability to impact the game without needing the ball in his hands made him invaluable to the Volunteers’ system under Coach Rick Barnes.

Mashack’s intangibles—leadership, work ethic, and defensive mindset—made him a compelling prospect despite being chosen with the last pick of the draft.

A Steal for the Memphis Grizzlies?

The Memphis Grizzlies may have pulled off a hidden gem selection by taking Mashack. With a team identity rooted in toughness and defensive grit, Mashack fits seamlessly into their culture. The Grizzlies already boast rising stars like Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr., but what they continue to seek are players willing to grind, defend, and make winning plays.

Mashack’s role may not be flashy out of the gate, but Summer League and training camp will offer him the platform to shine. If he continues to bring the same fire and focus he displayed at Tennessee, he could secure a place on the roster—possibly even a two-way contract or G-League development spot that leads to long-term success.

What This Means for Tennessee Basketball

Jahmai Mashack’s draft selection adds another chapter to the growing legacy of Tennessee basketball under Coach Rick Barnes. With multiple players making their way to the NBA in recent years, the program continues to prove it can develop not only stars but also high-IQ, high-character players who find ways to make it at the next level.

Mashack’s journey also inspires future recruits and fans alike—it’s a reminder that hard work never goes unnoticed, and every role on a successful team has value. From glue guy in college to potential role player in the pros, Jahmai Mashack exemplifies what it means to trust the process and stay the course.

Final Thoughts

Being drafted last in the NBA Draft often comes with a chip on the shoulder—and Jahmai Mashack is the perfect player to wear that chip with pride. His move from Knoxville to Memphis marks the beginning of a new chapter, and if history tells us anything, it’s that underdog stories like his are the ones worth watching.

So don’t count him out—count him in. Because Jahmai Mashack isn’t just going to the NBA. He’s going to make an impact.
