Marc Gasol as Jaqen H'ghar

Chris Paul as Tyrion Lannister
Chris Paul is in no way an imp, but the feisty point guard has a silver tongue as does Tyrion Lannister. CP3, like Tyrion, also happens to be the smartest man in the room/court.

Klay Thompson as Samwell Tarly
With Steph Curry and Draymond Green making all the headlines for the Warriors, people seem to forget about the other Splash Brother Klay Thompson.

Derrick Rose as Bran Stark

Joakim Noah as Brienne of Tarth
Joakim Noah is loyal to the Bulls, and the city of Chicago, as much as Brienne is loyal to those she trusts. Both have a hard time playing with others, unfortunately.
