Yes, I know the boxscore says 6 assists (for now). I make a lot of typos, but now is not one of those times. Against the Pacers, Jerian Grant had 5 real assists and 1 totally made-up fairytale assist that should earn the scorekeeper who recorded it a one-way ticket to the unemployment line.
I even included the “assist” so you could be as appalled as I was. Check out 1:30. Jerian doesn’t even touch the ball! If an assist had to be given out, Kevin Seraphin should have gotten it, but Langston Galloway took like a million dribbles down the court before scoring. No way should anybody have been credited with setting him up there.
Luckily for all the watchers of this vid out there, the rest of the stuff Jerian did tonight was legit. He has looked pretty good the last few games, coincidentally after the vets of the team begged their coach to give him more minutes. Damn. You know your team is screwed when it comes down to players begging not to play.
