With no first round pick, Memphis did well for themselves.

Bey may have been the better pick at 35, but Tillman could become a skilled center with good defensive IQ. He is a little short but has the strength and weight to battle centers. I think we are hoping he becomes our long term bench C who is capable of spot starts depending on matchups and injuries.

I respectfully disagree with “Bey better”, “could become a skilled centre”, and “a little short” statements.
Similar to Clarke, Tillman is already a skilled centre.
He is 6’8 with 7’1 wingspan.

Bey just because of position may have been worth the swing but I'm fine with Tillman. But 6'8 is small for a center and I want to see him function as a skilled center in NBA games before I give him that title though he should get there given what he did at MSU.

At the end of the day, it's not about wins and losses. Teamwork, fair play, and good sportsmanship make champions of us all.
