25. Memphis Grizzlies – Julian Strawther, G, Gonzaga
The Memphis Grizzlies find themselves in a battle with the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the NBA Playoffs but heading into the offseason, this is a team that has many decisions to make about their future. And the biggest of such revolve around whether or not to pay Dillon Brooks the big-money contract that he’s likely going to demand on the open market.
Adding another wing at the 2023 NBA Draft could help prevent the team from losing a key piece without insurance at the position Julian Strawther could be a worthy roll of the dice with how good of a shooter he was in college.
26. Indiana Pacers (via Cleveland Cavaliers) – Colby Jones, G, Xavier
Colby Jones seems like a prospect that could make some waves right away in the NBA. He may not end up having that high of a ceiling in the long run, but he has the skill set of a prospect that could play a defined role off the bench for a very long time.
Jones was a productive player during his junior season at Xavier in which he averaged 15 points n 38 percent shooting from 3-point range.
