I am a big Fair fan. But, man, I don't know about this.

Shooting: Grant was 6-15 on threes as a freshman, better than what Fair managed as a frosh or sophomore. Grant was obviously told not to shoot those this past year, but I'm not sure there's any basis to write him off as never being a competent shooter. CJ had the best mid-range game any non-Carmelo Orangeman has had in a long time but NBA teams aren't going to want either CJ or Grant to shoot contested mid-range shots, so I'm not sure that gets him anywhere.

Handle: Fair's handle as a senior was not very good, and he seemed to be at the end of his development curve. He [I]looked[/I] more in control than Grant but Grant seemed to actually maintain possession more than CJ did. Given another year or two of development, it seems likely he'll be better.

To the last point: I think you could see Grant developing into either a 3 or a 4 in the NBA. It's not clear that Fair really can do either. He's too slight to be a 4. At the 3, he has a minus handle and a slow-developing shot with a low release point.
