Desmond Bane is one of the NBA's premier movement shooters — a 41% career three-point marksman whose value comes from the gravity he creates without the ball. The 30th pick in the 2020 draft out of TCU, he outgrew that slot across five seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies, developing into a nightly 20-point scorer and a genuine secondary creator; in 2024-25 he averaged 19.2 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.3 assists. In June 2025 the Orlando Magic paid a steep price for him — Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony and four first-round picks — betting his shooting would fix a team that had finished last in the league from three. Bane is among a small group of players since 2020 to make 800 threes while shooting 40% from deep.

Did You Know?
Bane returned to TCU for his senior season rather than entering the 2019 NBA Draft — a decision that resulted in him being drafted 30th overall and immediately becoming a starter-caliber NBA player.
He grew up in Richmond, Indiana, the hometown of NBA Hall of Famer Gus Johnson — the two share a rare distinction as Richmond's most celebrated basketball exports.
Bane wore number 22 at TCU but switched to number 3 in the NBA — a nod to his college number at his high school where he first wore it.
He is one of only a handful of players drafted 30th overall who has earned All-Star recognition — a testament to the value of his extra development year at TCU.
