Huh? Ten games in right? Grant is the only guy that penetrates and creates. His outside shooting deficiency was known going into the draft but was seen as correctable. Ten days in and the Knicks need to send him to Westchester?

If he continues with the ofers he'd best be served getting a bigger sg role where he can work on his game shot in Westchester. That why it is there

Oh my! Grant is one of those players folks around the league are raving about. Let the kid learn from his mistakes and he; just like Kidd might develop into a special player

Is this another Chicken Little thread?

We're not winning the Chip this year, let these guys learn on the job for chrissakes.

im not sure BRIGGS is saying send him to the d league now. i think he was saying if the kid continues to struggle he might head there. makes sense, but i prefer for him to learn and make his mistakes at this level

This was the reason he dropped to pick 19. If he could shoot he would have been a top 10 pick. His job over the summer is to workout with Galloway and improve his shot. He has become much less effective recently because teams are playing WAY back off him. I think this is the main reason why the bench has started to stuck. Grant was getting everyone good shots and now he can not. The good thing is this is a simple fix. All he has to do is return next year with an improved shot.

People forget how many other rookie guards did not shoot well and now are good shooters. It's very common and nearly predictable for young PG's.

His game shot is flat.

He's a good not great athlete it will become easier to defend jerian if he can't shoot better than 10% from 3.

I'm not worried at this point. The kid appears to have a very high IQ on the court. And I just bet that IQ is also present with him in everyday life.
From Draft Express (some of it might be older):

In the half court, Grant was not quite as good, but continued to finish at a solid 57% rate around the rim and was able to score in isolation and off screen situations at a nice clip thanks to his 40% conversion rate on jump shots.

###

He did see an increase in his efficiency in jump shots off the dribble, as he improved his field goal percentage from 24.7% in 2011-12 to 32.8% in 2012-13 on these types of plays, but it's difficult to rely on this type of offense as a primary source of production. While he still has some work to do in this area, he saw an uptick in production due to a lower reliance on step back jumpers, allowing him to stay on balance as he pulls up for jump shots.

###

Also a solid outside shooter, Grant shows good mechanics on his jumper knocking down nearly two 3-pointers per game last season. At the moment he's significantly better in catch and shoot (36%) situations than he is off the dribble (25%), but he shows potential with both, something he can continue to harness to further solidify his pro prospects moving forward.

The guy can hit jump shots at a 40% clip. If he is open (and he often is now), there is no reason for him to not hit at a similar clip, if not more once he advances and gains in experience. He is a smart cat.

He is going to find a way because you just get the feeling that that is him. Remember, Gains suggested the kid. Gains is a scouting God.
