Good things happen when they touch the ball. Good passes tend to follow. High scoring efficiency from Grimes. I would love to see Grimes getting 10 shots per game minimum, even if that means fewer from the big-3. It would add more unpredictability to the offense, and higher percentage shooting. Q should easily be getting 15ppg.

The drive and kick,shoot, or alley OOP offense is pretty egalitarian. If Grimes can develop as a ball handler. For now I feel like his ceiling is Bullock's defense with Fournier's shooting. Seems like Grimes is already better than either of them at cuts to the basket.

If you think about it all we’ve basically seen him do offensively is catch/shoot, drive hard all the way to the rim and a very occasional mid-range pull up with limited success. He has much more talent/skill inside that body but not sure we’ll ever see it (almost too unselfish & often rushed).

Grimes is kind of in the Cam position where he can be on the court for 4/5 mins and rarely touch the ball — which kills me.

All the above said - he’s creating a role and helping big time.

Grimes has yet to even play 70 games in his career, I think he’ll catch on

Grimes is far more athletic than either of the other two you mention. Grimes has better off the ball movement (as you note) and better passing.
