Gradey Dick is a projected lottery pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. Which team is the best fit for him?

Although some Kansas fans argued that Gradey Dick would benefit from another year at school, he made the decision best for his career. All publications have him taken as a top 15 NBA Draft pick. Who would pass up a contract worth several million dollars per year?

He fits the mold of the prototypical wing in today’s league — a lengthy, coordinated wing player who moves well off the ball and shot over 40% from distance in college. Dick will be one of the most highly coveted guards in June.

All teams would cherish someone like Dick, but the consensus is that he will be taken between 7 and 13. Note that the NBA Draft Lottery could shuffle some of these picks around, so this is purely going off of the end-of-season records of these teams. These five NBA teams could use Gradey Dick more than anybody else.
