ANALYSIS
The 5-foot-8 point guard has been an assist machine in the G League this season, averaging 11.4 dimes in 32.9 minutes per contest over five appearances. He's had difficulty finding success as a scorer, however, as he's shooting just 28.1 percent from the field and 27.6 percent from downtown. Kawamura is under a two-way contract with the Grizzlies, but his opportunities at the NBA level are likely to remain limited while Memphis has all of its key backcourt players available.
