I've been talking up Kenny Lofton Jr. since the 2022 Combine. &, of course, he has lost some weight.
Lofton was 1 of the count 'em 5 rookies Memphis added last off-season (right after winning 56 games & going deep into the playoffs!).
He was on a 2-way contract most of the season, but when Memphis waived Kennedy Chandler* they converted him to a regular roster player.
Guys with his level of talent don't grow on trees. Doesn't mean he'll make it in the league -- but he has a shot to be an outstanding player!
* I've written this before: we should definitely sign Kennedy Chandler to... some kind of deal: 2-way,
Exhibit 10, something.... He was #6 on the RSCI top 100 coming out of high school only two years ago.
This is another kid with a ton of talent. He needs to remake his shot -- even his free throw shot! -- &
he may not be able to. But, he's worth the small investment it would take to bring him in.
