4. Torrey Craig

Torrey Craig, who is a restricted free agent for the Denver Nuggets, is the kind of athletic wing that all NBA teams are looking for.

Craig is 6’7″ and a capable defender that can guard multiple positions. He shoots 45 percent from the field and 32 percent from behind the 3-point line. Craig has steps to take on the offensive end to become a full two-way player, but he has the potential.

If he joined the Grizzlies, Craig would be a limited offensive playmaker for himself and others, but he can knock down open shots. Craig could develop into a true “3 and D” player if he can improve offensively.

A defensive duo of Craig and Jaren Jackson Jr. could be an interesting dynamic. Craig could bring a switchable wing on the defensive side for coach Taylor Jenkins and the Grizzlies.
