12. Memphis Grizzlies – Jalen Johnson, F, Duke
The Memphis Grizzlies have done a great job at attaining young talent over the last few years, and it was slam-dunked with the drafting of Ja Morant who looks every bit the superstar that the team needs. Now it’s about surrounding Morant with the right players to make this team transform into a legit threat in the Western Conference.
Jalen Johnson would be a great addition to this already talented core. Even though Duke had somewhat of a disappointing season, Jalen Johnson was one of the team’s bright spots this year.
Johnson averaged 11 points and six rebounds on 50 percent shooting from the floor. Johnson is a versatile forward that will be able to play all over the floor in the NBA. He has some work to do with his shooting consistency, but that will hopefully come with time.
