Memphis crapped the bed with this pick. They’re trying to build a team to compete 20 years ago when none of the teams playing in the finals are trying to get a giant, slow, post with two left feet.
Lurch is too slow to stay out of Morant’s way. He’ll be a liability on offense and be foul prone on defense. Don’t confuse what the officials did for Edey with him being a basketball player. He can’t move and everyone in the NBA can move.
Lurch may as well be Big Country 2.0. Rebirth of the Grizzlies first pick ever.
