A few weeks ago, Jake LaRavia was being projected as a late second-rounder when teams thought he was 22 years old. It turns out this was an error – he’s only 20 years old. Once teams learned that, he climbed up draft boards. Now, he goes No. 19 to Memphis: basketballnews.com/stories/2022-n… – 10:01 PM

Everything’s going well for Jake LaRavia, who managed to get drafted 19th overall, join Ja Morant and get two years younger in the same week.

22 and 29 for 19 to get Jake LaRavia. He’s very much the Grizzlies type. High skill. Good size. Smart player. Grizzlies always seem to trade up to get their guy. – 10:00 PM

The Grizzlies got an absolute winner in Jake LaRavia. He is an analytics darling who projects as a long-term pro. He is going to be a fan favorite in Memphis.

The Bucks have twice worked out Wake Forest forward Jake LaRavia, indicating they are serious about picking him at 24. Said an NBA scouting director about LaRavia: “He’s a good player, a good all-around player, but his lack of athleticism scares me. That’s a big concern.” – 5:50 PM

What did you do last season to improve your game enough to make it to the NBA? Jake LaRavia: It’s just about growing and maturing in the game, as well as off the court. It was about getting my body right, developing my game, and working on stuff that I might not have been as good at. This was a great team we played for this year and I played with a lot of great guys, and Alondes Williams is in the draft class as well. It’s easy to look good when you play with guys like that, but I was also able to showcase some of my abilities. I’m a competitor, so growing up watching March Madness, it sucked not being able to be a part of that. There is always going to be a chip on my shoulder when it comes to basketball, but it is what it is. -via For The Win / June 21, 2022
