25. Memphis Grizzlies

Some of you are probably going to look at this and think it’s crazy. After all, R.J. Hunter has eight career assignments to the D-league and accomplished the rare feat of being cut in his rookie season after being drafted in the first round. The Grizzlies are a terrible three-point shooting team and seem determined not address it.

26. San Antonio Spurs

  • Original Pick: Nikola Milutinov (Serbia)
  • Redraft Pick: Nikola Milutinov (Serbia)

If the Spurs did this draft 100 times, they’d take this draft-and-stash guy 100 times. Nikola Milutinov plays in Greece, and his scouting report says he “Has great length and is very agile. Excellent offensive rebounder. Has terrific hands.”

27. Los Angeles Lakers

  • Original Pick: Larry Nance Jr. (Wyoming)
  • Redraft Pick: Jerian Grant (Notre Dame)

The Lakers miss out on D’Angelo Russell in our redraft so they’d be looking to add a young point guard. A Notre Dame product, Grant is someone that will fit in well with the Lakers franchise.
