Jerami Grant: 7'3" wing, 8"11' reach, 3.75% body fat

[Orangeyes]

18. Jerami Grant, SF, So., Syracuse. An intriguing athlete whose combination of size, quickness and explosiveness around the basket separates him from other wing players.

27. Phoenix Suns (from Indiana): Jerami Grant, SF, Syracuse. He's one of the best athletes in this draft but still is working on the finer points of his game. At 6-8 but without a reliable jumper, you wonder what position he plays in the NBA.

What I learned is LaQuinton Ross by himself has more fat than Grant, Fair, and Ennis combined.

Jerami Grant – Another swingman, Jerami went to Syracuse and is the son of former NBA player Harvey Grant. Jerami’s body appears to have more growth in it, as he’s still young and slender. He’s got some talent, but no range on his jump shot, which is a major buzzkill for his position. If we draft this fellow, he’ll need 2 seasons in the D-League before he’s heard from. Choosing him requires a leap of faith.

Those are the likely choices remaining when the clock starts ticking on Masai’s choice. For my money, we need size, and someone who can help out right away. I think that’s Payne.

This.

Grant's by no means an NBA lock with huge potential unless he develops a jumper and a handle.

Or gets strong enough to play PF.

But yeah, he's going to need to develop one of those two things. I don't agree on him being a 2 year D-League player before he can contribute to an NBA team though. If he can play perimeter defense, I think he can contribute as a rookie with his motor, athleticism, and potential defense.

Things like arm-span and reach should be part of the roster stats. Height isn't important unless you are going to block shots with your head.

I just tested my own reach. I can barely touch the ceiling of my living room. I measured it. 89 inches. 7 feet 5. I'm 70 inches tall (5-10) with a 76 inch armspan (6-4).

Jeremy could reach from living room up into my bedroom, if there was a hole there. Creepy.

Intangibles.

Intangibles.

Actually, they seem pretty tangible with a tape-measure.
