Your grade joins the crowd-sourced Fan Verdict.
Memphis adds a developmental 7-footer on a low-risk 10-day deal. Multiple headlines highlight the undrafted rookie's immediate impact with a double-double debut. Lawson's height and productive first game offer upside potential for roster depth. Grizzlies fans view this as a creative, low-cost lottery ticket worth exploring. Expect Memphis to evaluate him through the 10-day window before deciding next steps.
Memphis Grizzlies' signing of Lawson Lovering grades out as an excellent deal (A), adding quality at the position. The 1-year, $119K deal ($119K AAV) represents excellent value in the current market.
