I still look back at this draft in amazement. The Memphis Grizzlies were able to land two guys who are very probable to end up as NBA all defense guys. Thing is, Jevon Carter like his peer Jaren Jackson Jr., is so much more talented than just a defensive players.
Now, I’ve developed a reputation for being the toughest critic of my own favorite teams players, so I don’t speak loosely when I say Carter also has offensive potential to be a very special two way player. Looking back on his summer league performances where he averaged only seven points per game in Utah but in Las Vegas had games of 35/6/5 shows me how much he can produce when given space & opportunity.
