[Saba Sports] Former Memphis Grizzlies fan favorite Kenneth Lofton Jr. is heading overseas, signing with the Shanghai Sharks in China’s CBA, as reported by GTV Hoops.
Lofton, who had a brief offseason stint with the Chicago Bulls but didn’t make the final roster, previously played with the 76ers, Jazz, and Grizzlies.
The 21-year-old initially joined the Grizzlies as an undrafted free agent in 2022, impressing fans with his low-post skills and rebounding, reminiscent of ex-Memphis star Zach Randolph.
Though weight concerns affected his 2023-24 season, Lofton’s youth gives him a chance to make an NBA comeback if he proves himself with the Sharks.
