Obviously jumps Boouknight, Primo, Duarte?

You know someone on the Spurs forums are calling for the entire FO to be fired cause they could have dropped down to 25 in a trade with the Knicks/LAC so that NY could have drafted Duarte instead of an tad overreach for Primo.

So he definitely has a strong case for 10 or higher. Kuminga is still just potential. McBride has a case for top 20 too.

Hard to do this in a vacuum. He's doesn't have huge track record. Duarte is injured, but Grimes was down most of last year. If you had to pick one season from each, which are you taking? You have to at least consider Dosonmu moving up above Grimes. Sengun is definitely up there. Kispert is probably above Grimes though you can argue. Bones Hyland probably is above Grimes. Santi Aldama is doing pretty well in Memphis. Even Jeremiah Robinson-Earl. I mean, I think its hard to say top 15. I'm willing to go top 20. And if Grimes can keep the last 5 games up, certainly higher. Need to see it with volume.

Maybe jumps Duarte because he's hurt, but that can easily change by seasons end. But I think it's a tie at best.

Do believe its a little too early for this. Because Im guessing that the concensus will be in a year from now, that he should have been drafted even higher.

Grimes is just starting to tap into his potential.

Aqua! lol

He puts up 22 points just off catch and shoots and a couple of cuts to the basket, with both RJ and Randle still missing him on a bunch of shots he could make. Once this team realizes he should be the 2nd/3rd option and not RJ (who remains a highly inefficient player), this team will take off. The young Klay Thompson comparisons I throw out look to be more accurate every game Grimes plays. Right now I would say Grimes should have been top 10, but by next year, we might be saying top-5.

He scores 22 without actually running plays for him or having any significant ball handling responsibilities, as an afterthought once our other players have dribbled the air out of the ball and finally pass it to him when lack other options.

Knicks knew what they were doing keeping him out of the trade talks. He has a lot of development to go through but he looks like the real deal. We have our 1 and 2 for the next 5-6 seasons in Brunson and Grimes.

Klay Thompson-like upside is within reach.
