Why The Memphis Grizzlies Do The Deal
Let’s be honest. This probably won’t happen. We know that. The Grizzlies are going to try to make it work with Morant. Still, indulge us for a moment.
Let’s say the Grizzlies are landing the fourth pick here. That probably means taking Amen Thompson.
This is a 6’7 point guard with elite run and jump athleticism. He’s got as much potential as any young basketball player in the world.
They’re also netting a young player with star potential in Johnson. Throw in four unprotected first-round picks, and the Grizzlies would have to consider this move.
