feels like Memphis would go either Ziaire or Kispert here, depending on how ready they want their rook to be.

Jaden Springer the best fit and most Draft Twittery.

Depends. Is JJJ in their future plans? If not, Thor. If so, Springer.

Went Williams again. Kispert also makes sense. Both are going to be really good shooters, but I think Williams has higher upside.

Josh Christopher at around 15 or beyond should be right up there for anyone as a prospect. Has everything that you want for a guard. Defensive worries should be covered well and it’s a great organization to go to for a mid lvl team.

Memphis needs an on ball creator not named Ja. Josh Christopher should be the pick.

Other -> Trey Murphy

Springer or Roko is BPA IMO. Springer is a PG though which is same position as Memphis' franchise player - not sure how Springer and Morant would work.

I think Springer would be better as THE guy at PG, he'd be good for either a rebuilding team with no PG and you hand the keys to him to be the PG and run the show, or a contender drafts him and he comes off the bench at first, getting mentored by a veteran PG who can show him the way and is no threat to taking the starting PG job long term from Springer. Neither of those scenarios are the case in Memphis and I think Roko has a good case for being BPA anyways.

Going off the radar here and saying they go completely unexpected like Beauchamp or Petrusev otherwise I guess Springer or maybe Jackson
