The Memphis Grizzlies desperately need talent anywhere. Mike Conley and Marc Gasol are both 30 years old. Their best young prospect is Dillon Brooks, a second-round pick without a super high ceiling. Poor drafting is finally coming around on this team, and they need to nail this draft pick. <p>Insert Marvin Bagley.</p> <p>Bagley can play. He does most of his damage inside as he uses his strength and aggression to score in the paint and haul in rebounds. Right now, he’s averaging 22.1 points and 11.8 rebounds. His interior defense is <em>meh </em>as he’s only averaging 1.1 blocks a game. However, he has the speed, length and athleticism to switch onto anyone.</p> <p>He’s a seamless fit next to Marc Gasol and Mike Conley, but he’s also a reliable player to build a core with.</p> <p><em>Chance of #1 pick: 11.6</em></p> <p><em>Alternate pick: Luka Doncic</em></p> <p><em>Likely #1 pick: Marvin Bagley</em></p>. F. Duke University. Marvin Bagley. 4. player. 211
