Memphis Grizzlies

While the Memphis Grizzlies don’t have an expendable young talent on Jaylen Brown’s tier — unless they made Jaren Jackson Jr. or Ja Morant available — they do employ an entire roster of prospects that just finished as the second-seed in the Western Conference.

They might not be willing to part ways with their top-end talent, but they can more than make up for the quality through sheer quantity in any superstar deal.

Here’s a complete list of Grizzlies under 26 years old: Ja Morant, JJJ, Jarrett Culver, Ziaire Williams, Brandon Clarke, Jake LaRavia, David Roddy, Desmond Bane, Santi Aldama, Killian Tillie, Xavier Tillman, Kennedy Chandler, Vince Williams Jr., and Kenny Lofton Jr.

They could put together a darn good package including Ziaire Williams, Desmond Bane, and Xavier Tillman and still have enough young talent to field a whole rotation.
