Jaylen Wells is an emerging forward for the Memphis Grizzlies, selected with the 39th overall pick in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft. The 22-year-old, standing at 6'8" (202 cm) and 205 lbs (93 kg), brings a promising blend of size and shooting to the NBA after a standout career at Washington State University. Born on August 26, 2003, Wells developed into a prolific scorer in college, known for his smooth three-point stroke and ability to create his own shot off the dribble. His offensive versatility allows him to play both forward positions, providing spacing for the Grizzlies' core. Defensively, his length and improving footwork give him the potential to guard multiple positions. On a rookie contract, Wells has the opportunity to grow within a young Memphis roster, aiming to become a reliable "3-and-D" wing who can contribute immediately with his shooting while rounding out the rest of his game under NBA coaching.
