25. Memphis Grizzlies – Julian Strawther, F, Gonzaga
The Memphis Grizzlies are another team that, depending on how their playoff run ends, could be facing some big questions heading into the offseason. Julian Strawther could be an interesting addition to a team like the Grizzlies. He’s an accomplished and efficient scorer and may still be growing as a player.
If he hasn’t hit his ceiling yet, Strawther could grow into a solid role off the bench for the Grizzlies.
26. Indiana Pacers (via Cleveland Cavaliers) – Colby Jones, G, Xavier
After selecting a big earlier in the NBA Draft, the Indiana Pacers will likely take a shot on a backcourt player with one of their late first-round picks. And one prospect that could make sense is Colby Jones. He’s a prospect that many believe to be more NBA-ready than some others and one that could potentially play some type of role for a team right away.
He’s coming off a solid career at Xavier and is one of the more experienced players that will likely be drafted this year. He’s an all-around guard that could help give the Pacers some depth in the backcourt if he does live up to his pre-draft scouting report.
