Grant is Proof That the New Points of Emphasis Are Working

[LetMeIn]

He had two three-point plays today that likely would have been offensive fouls last year.

Great to see players being allowed freedom to attack the basket.

I am especially glad they made the rules adjustment before we lost Grant to the NBA. He is truly
something special to watch on offense, especially when teams can't use the three officials as extra defenders.

What amazes me is how much ground he covers in his initial couple steps. There were a few drives tonight, where I thought there was no way he was going to get close to the rim, only for him to finish right next to it. If he's hitting his outside shot, he's nearly unguardable, just like CJ.

I don't know that there is a more versatile forward tandem in college basketball than these two.

And I gladly acknowledge my bias as an SU fan in making that claim.

Still stand by it.

Agree those 10-15 footers along with the improved foul shooting make him deadly.

That pass to Rak for the three-point play was a thing of beauty.

He is my favorite player to watch on this team. I know just enough about basketball to bloviate, but even I can see his talent and instincts are transcendent.
