How does picking up Ja in the draft effect the guard rotation moving forward....? For example, what is going to happen with Watanabe?

It'll depend on what happens with Wright and Avery Bradley. We hope to bring Wright back, but if he gets too big of an offer we will wish him well. Avery Bradley is likely to get waived. As for Yuta, I don't think it changes much for him. He is mainly a SF and is stuck buried behind a few guys. Rough guess at our current depth chart:

Ja/(Wright?)/Carter
Brooks/Korver/(Bradley?)/Allen/Konchar
Anderson/Crowder/Bruno/CJ Miles/Parsons/Yuta
JJJ/Clarke/Rabb
(JV?)

We probably have some trades coming our way as well as Bradley being waived.

Cool. I thought ya'll were using him as a SF, but he's listed as a guard on the Griz' homepage. I think he has a lot more upside than he's shown and his range has improved, too. I also think he's better than Parsons and far more sturdy

Honestly if Memphis needs a roster spot I think they will waive/buyout Parsons.
