Memphis Grizzlies, NBA Christmas Lottery Mock Draft
211. Mike Conley’s season thus far shows the Memphis Grizzlies need a future solution for point guard quickly. It’s almost destiny for the Grizzlies’ fall to begin as a transcendent point guard takes a meteoric rise up the draft boards. <p>Trae Young has taken the college basketball world by storm. His 3-point shot and range is Steph Curry-like. His court vision and passing might rank among the best of any prospect in the past decade. Despite his size, he uses his smooth ball-handling and quickness to get to the rim.</p> <p>He’s the perfect point guard to learn under Conley and to eventually take over as the lead guard for Memphis. When your point guard is aging and battling injuries, and there’s a guard being compared to Steph Curry, you don’t pass up on the prospect.</p> <p><em>C</em><em>hance of #1 pick:15.6 percent</em></p> <p><em>Likely #1 pick: Luka Doncic (if Marc/Mike stay), Trae Young (if rebuild)</em></p> <p><em>Alternative pick: Marvin Bagley</em></p>.
