De’Anthony Melton is likely the most popular answer for Cell 1. The Philadelphia 76ers’ starting shooting guard previously played the last three seasons of his career with the Memphis Grizzlies.
Tony Wroten has a much lesser-known answer than Melton. Wroten was a rookie in Memphis before playing his last three years in the league in Philly.
Mike Miller and Shane Battier are good choices for Cell 2. Miller was part of LeBron James’ “Heatles” which won two championships in 2012 and 2013. “Skinny” also had a six-year stint with the Grizzlies.
Battier and Miller were teammates during those two aforementioned Miami Heat championships. “Battle” began his NBA career in Memphis and stayed there for five seasons.
Ja Morant, Hasheem Thabeet, Mike Conley and Shareef Abdul-Rahim are all former top-10 picks who played for the Memphis Grizzlies. They’re possible answers for Cell 3.
T.J. McConnell is a good fit for Cell 4. He was with the Philadelphia 76ers from 2015-16 to 2018-19 and played with the Indiana Pacers over the last four years.

For Cell 9, Kemba Walker, who played for UConn in the Big East, was picked ninth by the Charlotte Hornets in 2011. Mikal Bridges (Villanova), who was picked 10th by the Philadelphia 76ers but traded to the Phoenix Suns is also a good answer.
