If he is in the second unit, I have no complaints at all. I think his shooting keeps him in many starting lineups, but his defense is costly.

Dont see any resemblance to Houston. He did all his damage from the perimeter, couldnt get to the rim. That drive in the playoffs vs the Heat that bounced in was the exception to the rule. Grimes can get to the rim. Grimes is working through the rough parts in his game, on the court, in ways Frank never did, because he was too timid.

Grimes will probably never develop Houston's stroke. But he plays excellent D, which Houston never played. Grimes has the potential to be a very good two-way player.

In his first season Houston shot 31% from three. Grimes shot 39%. If anything Grimes is on course to be a Way better 3 shooter than Houston was. Of course H2O shot 42% his second year... Big season for Grimes coming up. I am very sure that he becomes our most valuable youngster after this season.

Rookie Grimes vs rookie RJ Rarrett ???

Grimes has showed more potential as a wining player on both sides of the court than rookie Barrett at the SG position.
Grimes team-ball performance and court vision of his teammates on offense needs much improvement however, it's poor and the same as RJ Barrett's performance in Barret's 2nd & 3rd season in the NBA.

Grimes could use a veteran SG mentor throughout his 2nd season in the NBA.

He needs to make sure he slows his game down a bit and use all three zones to his benefit.
By playing to rapidly he sets himself up to be more of risky streak type player.
His efficiency is to find his spots set his feet and play with balance. If a good shot is not there pass or drive.


Detroit Pistons drafted (H20) Allan Houston, and Dumars & Grant Hill showed hate for no-defense Allan Houston throughout his rookie contract on the Pistons. H20 didn't start playing a decent role on the defensive end until Sprewell & Chris & Ward showed him how to just stay in front of his man as a defender.

Grimes DEFENSIVE performance are why the Knicks drafted Grimes. When the Knicks had a great defensive SG in Frank.

Ok, point taken. How does the saying go? Different folks different strokes...

Grimes showed a lot his rookie season. Other teams will have scouted him by now. He has to show that he can handle the increased attention. I believe Grimes will make the necessary adjustments. Might not happen right away, but Im confident he will get there. Not afraid to be aggressive.

I'm high on Grimes

I felt like last year he could score when people weren't paying him much attention.

Now, he will need to show he can score even if the defense is focused on him. Hopefully he can make that adjustment

If Grimes is in the starting lineup, he will be the 4th option. So I believe the defense can not focus on Grimes, when you have 3 volume shooters (Brunson, RJ, Randle) and a lob threat in Mrob. So I believe Grimes will help open the floor for those guys. EF will play the same role and position.

If Donovan comes over, Grimes will come off the bench and the you might be right, Grimes will be the focal point in that secondary unit and defense will focus on him more.....

Houston was very tight his first season here. The big contract and playing in NY got to him and then he settled down and got better


Houston was excellent at creating his own shot. Grimes I haven’t seen it yet except in summer leagues facing mostly G-league fodder but who knows maybe he blossoms into that type of a player. Grimes did shoot well last season like you said which is encouraging

I don’t see him supplanting Fournier from starting lineup at least at the beginning of the season. The FO wants to justify Fournier’s contract. That said Grimes either way is definitely in the rotation
