[@MarleyG1821]

I’ve known Jerami Grant from his AAU days playing for DC Assault with my brother. He’s always been extremely quick and athletic. Since he’s been in the league he’s added some weight, gotten stronger and really worked on his jump shot. Going to the Pistons was the best thing for him career wise and now he can showcase his entire game while being the main guy. The sky’s the limit for him. Definitely one of the most improved players this year.

[@HM_total]

As a long time OKC fan, I'm so glad that he's getting his chance in Detroit, but it also hurts to see him shine on another team. Once the 2018 season came around and he starting shooting that 3 ball I knew he could do something like this. As a super athletic PF who has developed a jumper and accuracy from deep he's got some good years ahead. But..I will never ever understand why the man can't get a board 😂

I can see where you see the similarities but the caliber of player is definitely different. Kawhi in his prime was a monster. He held a GSW team with KD, Curry, and Thompson down single handedly before getting injured. I like that their stories seem similar but my love for the Klaw is to great to compare.

so what. he wanted a bigger role. & he's living up to it

[@hendrixtrippin6523]

I bought an autographed rookie card of him. Sent it to PSA. Pistons don’t get a lot of attention cause they don’t have any stars, jerami grant has hella potential. He’s also related to Horace grant

[@DoxRap]

The MIP award between Grant and Wood will probably come down to which team has the better record, because both guys have been stellar this season.

[@leoperez7388]

Anyone who’s a real fan and actually watches all/most nba games would’ve seen flashes and knew he was gonna be nice smh ✊🤷‍♂️

[@thegrimsbaby5085]

Get out with your “real fan”. I knew he was gonna be good but nobody could’ve expected this. Im probably a bigger fan than you so get out with your “real fan”

[@ajrivera0804]

these stats is hard to get if your in a winning team but if your in a losing team its makeable anyway, Grant keeps improving.

OMG thank you for not having one of those extremely loud music intros! Also, the whole video was good!!

Everyone who left Russel westbrook becomes better.

[@stephenkimble-chrildess1767]

Who else think he can be a all star

[@c_Durka]

I do. Considering the veteran talent that this ass face making the video called washed up. He has room to continue growing

[@Jeffman529]

It's not all that surprising, he's doing similar things to what he was doing with Denver, especially the bubble. He's just getting more opportunities tryna get that bag

[@TheMIHAILproductions]

As an okc fan who watched him for a few seasons, the potential was there :)

[@kapekape9160]

Dude is playing for like the worst team in the league. He's a good player, a great role player, but that's how far it gets

[@calebellington2167]

yep playing like an all star because of such a bad team

[@ztlabraptor211]

Feel free to list some role players that averaged an efficient 25 points over the past ten years. That’s excellent production and he’s doing it efficiently

Jeremi Grant watched him play at SU and it kind of sucked seeing him struggle so long in his transition glad he’s getting better

[@AirRusher1992]

Jerami Grant's rise to relevancy seems pretty much impressive. I wish he does well in Portland alongside Dame.

[@ryansutton9486]

He was a big x Factor against the clippers in the playoffs....hes proof that good role players can play like stars if given the opportunity

[@veligz2044]

I have always seen his potential and im happy everyone else is starting to see it too

[@hyperhooperbasketball]

Nice vid as usual

[@Cam-wk6ty]

I honestly thought that he would be a 23ppg scorer in bad efficiency because Jerami Grant has been one of my favorite players in the league since he was in OKC.

[@mentok3027]

Last year he put up 12 points on 9 shots in 26 mins, this year he's putting up 24 points on 18 shots in 36 mins. So basically he just doubled his shot attempts which has resulted in doubling his ppg with a slight dip in efficiency. It's not always that simple as some people can't handle the added load, but he scaled up just fine. Strangely he has doubled his rebounds going from pf to sf. The extra 10 mins accounts for some of that, but not all.

[@djdbpi7948]

Putting big numbers in any team is more than impressive

[@IDK-uu9mt]

I think Jerami Grant was probably one of the biggest surprises to me, He wasn't really on my radar until he traded to the pistons. I gotta say Im loving him, and it feels good to have our best player actually want to play for us, unlike Blake Griffin.

[@dharpaantv401]

I agree with a higher usage rate that his numbers have improved, but just visually you can see that he is able to score more off dribble and create his own shot, whereas most of shots in OKC and DEN were catch and shoot or set up by either Russ or Jokic

[@MeshTheSnake]

He's going crazy on my fantasy team

[@owendebaillie7724]

He is on my fantasy team.

[@peytonoliver2303]

No one: Rusty Buckets: jEraMi GRaNt!

[@austinmj64]

the hints being on my nuggets were there that he could be a no 1 or 2 option but if his goal was to compete he should've stayed or signed to another playoff team. Now he's the top dawg at the 2nd worst team in his prime

[@OwenIkeakhe]

As an OKC fan, I´m glad Jerami is doing great

[@billpap.9669]

Jerami Grant is one of my favourite players in the league. Perfect modern day player. 6'8" freakishly athletic, can defend, switch, block shots, shoot the three, finish at the rim and he's become a good shot creator.

[@gemilangsuzli2895]

He played really good at playoff vs lakers last year

[@nuthinbut25net25]

James edwards for the athletic wrote a great article about how he wanted to play for a black gm and a black coach in a black city. Truly meant something more to him to come to detroit.
