22-Year-Old ForwardF
Memphis Grizzlies
2023 Fantasy Outlook
After being taken with the 19th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, LaRavia was used sparingly during his rookie season. He made just 35 appearances, logging 11.8 minutes per game, during which he averaged 3.0 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.7 three-pointers. Although the Grizzlies are not particularly deep at the power forward position, LaRavia is likely going to struggle to play more than 18 minutes this season. David Roddy and Santi Aldama have both demonstrated more on the court than LaRavia in their limited minutes, while Kenneth Lofton also lies waiting for his opportunity. Barring a string of injuries to other players, LaRavia is not someone managers need to be considering outside of very deep leagues. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

LaRavia was born on Nov. 3, 2001, in Pasadena, California. His family moved from sunny Pasadena to Indianapolis when LaRavia was six years old. He played basketball for Lawrence Central High School in Indianapolis. He had a limited role until his senior season, in which he became the team's leading scorer, averaging 17.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.3 steals per game. He earned Indiana All-Star honors and helped Lawrence Central win its first sectional title since 2012. LaRavia first committed to playing college basketball for SIU Edwardsville but reopened his recruitment after a coaching change. He later committed to Indiana State. As a freshman at Indiana State, LaRavia averaged 9.4 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. He was named to the All-Newcomer and All-Freshman Teams in the Missouri Valley Conference. In his sophomore season, LaRavia averaged 12.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, earning second-team All-MVC recognition. Following the departure of coach Greg Lansing, LaRavia transferred to Wake Forest. He averaged 14.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game as a junior. He was named to the second-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference. On March 29, 2022, LaRavia declared for the 2022 NBA draft while maintaining his college eligibility. On June 1, 2022, he announced that he would remain in the draft and forgo his remaining college eligibility. He was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 19th overall pick.

Excels again Friday
FMemphis Grizzlies
April 12, 2024
LaRavia registered 28 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 11-11 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 43 minutes during Friday's 123-120 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
LaRavia played 43 minutes for the shorthanded Grizzlies, marking the highest total of his career. He's played at least 40 minutes in back-to-back contests and has averaged 30.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals over that span. LaRavia's opportunities have come as the team has been decimated by injuries, but he's performing at a level that could help him solidify a significant role in Memphis' rotation next season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May be traded
FMemphis Grizzlies
December 12, 2023
LaRavia is believed to be available in trade talks, Matt Moore of Action Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Ja Morant is slated to return from suspension Dec. 19, but the Grizzlies have a full roster and want to keep Bismack Biyombo, who's played a critical role with Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke sidelined. That makes LaRavia and John Konchar trade candidates. Even with Memphis banged up, LaRavia has struggled to carve out a role. He averaged 3.4 points in 12.2 minutes across the first five matchups of the season but hasn't made an appearance since Nov. 1.
See All NBA Rumors
2022 Fantasy Outlook
After two seasons at Indiana State, LaRavia transferred to Wake Forest for his junior and final collegiate season. He averaged 14.6 points on 56/38/78 shooting, 6.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.7 combined steals-plus-blocks in his lone campaign with the Demon Deacons. The 6-foot-7 forward was selected with the 19th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft and went to the Grizzlies. There are questions about his ability to be a successful playmaker at the NBA level, for himself or others, but he did so effectively in his college system. He can cut, pass and make spot-up jumpers, and he's a solid defender with enough size to switch as a pro. With Jaren Jackson (foot) expected to be out for the first couple months of the season at least, LaRavia has an opportunity to make an impact immediately. He'll battle Brandon Clarke and Ziaire Williams for minutes at the four, but Memphis isn't an especially deep team.
