I am vindicated. All those games where Jerian Grant scored fourteen points and I didn’t make a vid, well, now he’s scored sixteen so all those vids would have sucked anyway! And he got six assists which makes this video even better!
Was it because his dad was in the crowd? Or because his brother was on the other team? Or because he’s now a starter? Or a combination of those reasons and additional, as yet unsaid reasons? Either way, this performance is certainly among the best of Jerian’s (so far) short career. Remember, Jerian is still shooting below 40% from the field as a whole and can’t hit a three to save his life, so we’ll take anything we can get from him. In a draft class stacked top to bottom with talent at every position, Jerian’s underwhelming start is sort of disappointing, but hey, cheer up! He would have been rookie of the year in 2001!
