Q. Your overall thoughts getting selected and thoughts about Memphis?

WALKER KESSLER: You know, I'm ecstatic. I'm excited for the opportunity. I know, as a kid, you look at this level of basketball and you don't really understand that it's a real thing, i's an attainable thing. And to finally get here, I mean, it's surreal. I'm just so excited.

Q. I assume you're looking forward to playing with Ja Morant?

WALKER KESSLER: Yeah, super, super looking forward to it. Super excited about, just playing in the league in general. Just super excited.

Q. What do you think you can provide to the Grizzlies day one?

WALKER KESSLER: So I think just my ability to just be a defender. I think that's really what I did in college. And also just playing hard and just trying to win.
