#9: Memphis Grizzlies select Ron Holland

A lot of mocks have the Grizzlies trading this pick or reaching for one of the centers, but instead they go for a guy with big-time upside and a skillset that can help them now.

Holland’s defense should play in the NBA right away and on Memphis he wouldn’t be asked to do anything but defend and run the floor, giving time for his offensive game to develop at its own pace.

Holland has as much two-way upside as anyone in this draft, but even if his offense never comes around, he’ll be a good defender who fits the Memphis mold.
