The Memphis Grizzlies will trade guard Tony Wroten to the Philadelphia 76ers, a person with knowledge of the trade told USA TODAY Sports' Jeff Zillgitt. The Grizzlies officially will receive a future second-round pick, though the pick may never be moved, the person said.
The person requested anonymity because the trade has not been made official yet.
Wroten played sparingly in his rookie season after being picked 25th overall out of Washington in the 2012 draft. Wroten averaged 2.6 minutes, 1.2 assists and 0.8 rebounds over 35 regular-season games, then made six playoff appearances at the ends of blowouts as the Grizzlies reached the Western Conference finals.

I think he'll be the starting point guard this season for Philly.
Damn. They've got some tall point guards now.
