Would be great if they could package this pick and the 1st to move up and snag one of the PGs in this draft. The two Kentucky guards are off to slow starts but pretty high upside guys, could very well be around in the 20s. Long way off but this is a PG heavy class, hopefully we grab our PG of the future.

It will pair well with pick 30.

and you trade it for future picks because there is no room for anyone, so snowball it into the future

To be fair, this pick (Memphis’ 2nd) will probably slide back later in the draft once Ja comes back (there’s no way they finish the season with a bottom 4 record).
Still, this pick seems all but destined to be in the top 45 or so (even if they do somehow come back into the playoff picture, they’ll be hard pressed to be anything but an 8th seed), and I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see Memphis treat this season as a sort of “gap” year, finding creative ways to shut guys down to preserve a solid spot in the lottery to get one last asset before going all in next year (like, what’s better, to fight tooth and nail to maybe make the play-in, or to get a top 8 pick?)
