Ill be the first one to say even 3 weeks ago I was like "pass". High dribble TO machine who looked like he couldnt separate from a slow foreign guy
But I keep in mind some of the really good PG's that are simply not mature enough physically yet at 18 and then 2-3 years later --different players.
From watching continual tape--heres a few takes. He thinks the game he knows angles his jumpshot form has improved drastically from 206-2017. He actually looks like he can be a weapon from 3. He has long smooth strides. His length makes him a potential defensive terror--and with body control those long arms will help him be a stat suffer and finish at the rim. Does he have the strength and explosion of DEnnis Smith--no. Will he be as good as DS year 1? Probably not. But will he be a winning player---I think he can and thats what we want. At 18 with a 7-1 wingspan--he could end up 6-7/6-8 and even if he stays at 6-4 ish thats plenty tall for the PG. I think the more you watch and look through some immature warts the more you can see what they "thought" they might get with Jerian Grant. He can shoot now and he will get even better shooting as he gets stronger--Jerian Grant cant shoot.
