I am tryna tell him he is delusional yet he will hear none of it. I was tryna talk sense into him that Grimes is a pure SG (nothing more, nothing less) and the Knicks view it the same as I do. Which is why they have loaded up on PG options that DO NOT include Grimes.
Let’s explore the PG depth chart and other future assets at the position ahead of Grimes:
Kemba | Rose | Quickley | McBride | Vildoza | Jokubaitis (future)
Yet Melo keeps insisting Grimes will see spot minutes at PG during Kemba/Rose load management days.
Can someone please talk him off the cloud he is sitting on after Grimes final few SL games eruption? We are all happy Grimes got more aggressive and shot the ball well… but once again, Melo is taking this basking and gloating thing too far!
I knew you were coming here to post lies!!
I already told you he may never get the opportunity to run point here due to the roster’s makeup but could see spot up minutes. But he has underrated court vision which is my main point. He is a combo guard in my eyes and not a SF like Josh Hart that you keep saying
I heard Chris Vernon (or was it Kevin O'Connor) say on the Mismatch that Grimes used to be an on-ball player back when he was a 5-star recruit. Said he turned into a 3&D guy after transferring to Houston. So you might be right that there's some dormant on-ball potential there.
That was based on playing on the ball in H.S. where he was bigger and stronger than almost every guard he went up against (who was taking the ball from him?)
Almost every high school star guard plays on the ball in high school. Doesn’t mean it translates at the college level and definitely not the NBA.
As we saw with Grimes, he struggled mightily on the ball at Kansas, so much so that it led to him getting the bust label and having to transfer.
He doesn’t pass the eye test to me at all as a PG or primary ballhandler. Not even for spot minutes. To me, he is what he excelled at in his role at Houston. A shooting guard through and through. Let’s not unnecessarily complicate this. And even if he had combo guard skills (which he doesn’t), he certainly won’t see a single minute of PG duties on the Knicks. But as stated, that’s not realistically in his bag/skill set anyway, so…
