Sucks to see Grant go. He could have helped us, and himself, next year. He does not appear to me to yet have all the tools required to succeed in the NBA. IMO his best bet would have been to come out of college with a huge bang, and maximize his guaranteed money potential. Lead a team deep into the tournament, or whatever the heck it is the Andrew Wiggins of the world do.

He has some potential for going the work hard and make it happen route. He is athletic and can jump high. However, there are a lot of guys just like him, maybe with less bounciness, but with positive attributes in areas where he is lacking. He was severely lacking in the strength area, even in college. The 2nd rounders whom succeed are much more well rounded than he. I don't need to wait 3 years to feel confident about that. If either side of the fence is wrong or right in 3 years, who really cares?

The announcers stated some sobering facts regarding the impact of 2nd rounders from last years draft. Basically stating that only 15 played XX amount of games, and only 4 could be considered significant contributors. I forget the numbers, but it was scary. Crazy to see some of these guys go way ahead of grant, after only averaging sub-10 points and rebounds in their respective European D leagues.

At the end of the day, it is his decision. He gave SU some good moments. Time to move on.
