2024 NBA Mock Draft: Bulls take win-now shooter, Rockets build for future

#9: Memphis Grizzlies select Stephon Castle 

The Grizzlies hope to get right back into contention next season when all of their injured players return. 

Castle gives them a very good defender to go along with Morant and Bane, lessening their defensive load. He’s a versatile player who could fit into a lot of different lineups and would give them another potentially elite perimeter defender to go along with JJJ down low. 

He’s also an upside play for Memphis, as Castle has a lot of tools, and if his 3-point shot develops, could end up being a two-way star in the future and the perfect fit with Ja Morant.
