That’s a nice dream.

But, he wasn’t this guy back then.
And still wasn’t until after a few years working on his game full time in the NBA. The shooting took a while.

Potential was always there. He would have been great.

Grant may have an outside chance of playing himself into the hall of fame fringe conversation. He keeps getting better and better. Portlands a good trade/3rd man away from legitimately challenging for the west

I don’t see that at all. He’s never even been an all star. He’d have to play at a level that he’s never played at and maintain it for like 6-7 years.

Likely would have been one in 2020 if that season wasn’t a mess. He’s got his best ball ahead of him and anything’s possible if he can get a ring or 2. He’s got a game that won’t fade with his athleticism. Reminds me a lot of what I wish Hak could have developed into, but Hak was a better rebounder.

I think Jerami will continue to get better.

When he was at SU I’m quite certain there were more than a few ‘he can’t shoot’ threads like the six Benny Williams ones we have going right now.

He was a freak athlete who has worked himself into a pretty complete baller. Let’s get away from the revisionist history.

The way fans over value their own is interesting. Here is one list of NBA greats not in the Hall of Fame. I'm not knowledgeable on some to the older players, but JG is not better than any of the minders guys on this list, who were all consistently excellent over long careers. (I was surprised at Detlef not being in. He was an excellent player and an international pioneer. ).

The best basketball players not in the Hall of Fame

Due to pandemic delays, the Basketball Hall of Fame will be inducting two classes in 2021. And though it's quite a group this year — the Hall welcomes Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, and Tamika Catchings, among others — there's a huge class of worthy players still sitting outside the...

After Ennis declared, Grant probably looked around and didn't find anyone who could get him the ball.

Missed travel call on his game winner last night.
The last ten minutes of that game were rough for him. He got stuffed, and missed a few running, twisting, highly contested shots near the rim. Seems like when I watch him, his shots are all overly ambitious, with Difficulty Level 11. And then I see the box and he had 25….

Not that it’s the law, but his “Hall of Fame Probability” on basketball-reference is listed as 0.0%.

It’s tough to watch a league that ignores traveling.

It’s tough to watch a league that ignores traveling.

It was pretty egregious, but in the officials’ defense, it was obvious from a wide tv vantage point. On the floor? with a second left, I can imagine they were all focused on his hands/the ball versus the clock. Also, it may have looked like he didn’t gain possession with the first touch, and they assumed he was only getting control as he was backpedaling.

That’s all I got…. Prolly should be able to challenge more aspects of a game-ending play, though.

You can’t be serious!

he is serious. And don’t call him Shirley.

they are starting to call egregious palming/carry. But the extra step still continues

Check the highlights from tonight’s game against the Pelicans. Grant just made a sick play. He was at the top of the key, dribbling wayyyyy too much, and then in the blink of an eye he was past three Pels, dunking. Next possession, a three.

27 points on 10 for 20. 8 boards.

Grant is having a really solid season so far…and for a winning team
