Memphis Grizzlies, NBA: Midseason Mock Draft
38. Trae Young has taken the NCAA by storm. He’s shooting the ball with Steph Curry range and efficiency. He’s making history as the lone player <em>ever </em>to lead the nation in points and assists. The Steph Curry comparisons have legs. His floor vision and range are berserk. His production is jaw-dropping. It’s up in the air to see how he does against NBA guards as a 6’2″ point guard, but he’s proven his worth as a top-5 propsect. <p>Teams don’t want to be <em>that</em> franchise that passes on “the next Steph Curry.” The Magic have a need for a point guard and a face of the franchise. The Elfrid Payton experiment hasn’t really worked, so Trae Young is the pick here. Pairing him with Aaron Gordon and Jonathan Isaac would create a promising trio in Disney World.</p> <p><em>Chance of #1 pick: 19.9</em></p> <p><em>Alternate pick: Luka Doncic</em></p> <p><em>Likely #1 pick: DeAndre Ayton</em></p>. PG. Oklahoma University. Trae Young. 2. player
