211. With the future of the team uncertain, the Memphis Grizzlies are looking for a player who checks two boxes. They want a guy who could contribute to a playoff run from day one and someone with enough upside to carry the team after Marc Gasol and Mike Conley. Luka Doncic sliding would be their dream scenario. With Doncic, Ayton and Jackson all off the board, Bagley is the cleanest fit. He’s a perfect fit with Gasol, who could be a great mentor to improve Bagley’s instincts on defense. Gasol could protect the rim while Bagley defends in space. On the other end, Gasol could operate from the 3-point line or elbows, allowing Bagley to work inside.. PF/C. Duke. Marvin Bagley III. 4. player
