Pick 25: With Memphis on the clock, a long discussion takes place as to what the Grizzlies need the most. It is concluded - rightly - that they need a shooter. The Grizzlies were one of the worst shooting teams in the league last season, and have just let their best shooter become an unrestricted free agent, for fear that he might accept his QO were he offered. With Jenkins having just been taken, then, attention turns to the other good shooters out there.
Naturally, then, Memphis takes Tony Wroten, one of the worst jumpshooting guards out there. To further emphasis quite how much Wroten needs to work on, Bilas points out problems with his decision making, shot making, and work ethic. Let's call him a project, then.
It is difficult at this point in the draft to strike a balance between "best prospect" and "most helpful tomorrow," especially as we are now dealing with players who likely won't manage more than a few years in the league, if that. It is also true that Memphis regularly prioritises athleticism above all else, which again seems to be the case here. Nevertheless, backup point guard has long been a problem for Memphis, especially in the wake of Jeremy Pargo's bizarre ineffectiveness in the NBA. So they do still scratch an itch.

Note: Non-US teams that the player
has played for are, unless stated otherwise, from the top division in
that nation. If league or division name is expressly stated, it's not
the top division. The only exceptions to this are the rare occasions where
no one league is said to be above the other, such as with the JBL/BJ League
split inJapan.
In the event where more than one agent is listed, this is because the
player has more than one agent. This is rather commonplace - a lot of
times, a player will sign with a big agency, and they will have both primary
and secondary agents from within that agency to handle their affairs.
(Where that happens, the primary agent is listed first.) Also, foreign
players tend to have both American and domestic agents. Where the details
of such are known, they are listed.
