Root to be able to operate gets up to the other side of the basket there with that little five foot jump on eight points tonight for hero That's crying from downtown. He drills quick Grimes as I went through as I kind of combed through the internet looking at some interesting stats on Quentin Grimes And shout out to M. D. V. in University man great follow on Twitter 100 players again zone defense this season And these were the most efficient Quentin Grimes number three one point four two points per possession Against zone defenses in 30 at least 30 possessions Maybe that's something that tips in this organization can look at you know the teams are gonna put the mix in zone You know that hey find our guy Grimes a zone buster if you will Let's get him the rock feed Grimes feed him and reward him for the tough defense that he plays out there man There a couple other good ones largest playmaking improvements from last year to to this year two seasons go to From his rookie year to a sophomore year Quentin Grimes in playmaking talent number eight In playmaking talent And then this was another good one because we talked about his passing ability and whether you see it when you want to use the eye test You see it He's it's always a hot potato with Quentin Grimes He gets rid of the ball he makes quick decisions and when you're playing against Stingy defenses Miami heat Cleveland Cavaliers you go down the list You making quick decisions is imperative you cannot hold on to the ball You've got to either either shoot it ish or get off the pot Make a play whether it's shooting it or make a pass to keep a defense from settling in you don't want to keep a defense Settling in especially in the half court You want to try to keep them rotating so that you can find those open gaps those driving lanes those passing lanes Where you can make place where your teammates will make place for yourself Highest quick decision pass percentage in the league last season Quentin Grimes at number five with eight percent So an eight percent of his touches He made a quick decision with the basket bully I talked about that if you go back to some of my podcast with Fred Katz of the athletic We talked about Quentin Grimes's passing and his decision-making quick decision-making how important that is for the team I Thought tib's answer after he just joined with me was actually pretty interesting He he said when you look at quickness. It's both mental and physical So it's anticipating what's coming who's closing me me how are they close and you may and he and then he said He maybe doesn't look like a great athlete, but he is a great athlete But I think the mind and his quickness to anticipate and to read is what makes him really good I Thought it was a really interesting answer because I do think the most interesting thing about Grimes Similar to Obi-Toppin is how quick of a decision maker. He is at such a young age like he He never holds on to the ball. It doesn't look like he knows what to do It's the ball comes and it is immediate You know Phoenix has has a saying at point point five Which is you want to make a decision within half a second? You want to if you're shooting you should know within half a second if you're passing know within half a second You're driving know within half a section if you're second if you have to pull back out and go into a new action No within half a second and you see Offenses that move seamlessly You know invoke those principles Grimes could fit in an offense like that, you know, he Very well. That's how he operates and I think that's kind of what tibs is saying there, right? It's like he knows what he is going to do and he makes the decision quickly and he's really good at it It's it's a great trait to have and it's why I think he basically fits into any kind of offense that you need beyond just the fact that he's a shooter who can defend It's really encouraging when you say a 22 year old to make decisions like that. Yeah And Stefan Curry he was he was quoted as as liking it as a grenade You know, you got to make a decision get rid of it and that's how he likened us Steve Kerr's offense Willie Green gets credited for that with the way New Orleans is running things as well and you're right man Just grimes as quick decision making it's helping everybody and all over all across the the offense And that hey is there some intermediate game for Quentin Grimes when he puts the ball In the floor when he attacks those closeouts will he rise up for mid range shot a lot of times It's just straight to the bucket which isn't a bad thing trying to get a high percentage shot But is there a mid range is there stopping pop that he can develop in his game? I'll uh Alan Houston. Why do you guys like to compare him to Alan? But H2O was lethal in the mid range look at Devin Booker his shot chart And Quentin Grimes work on that maybe that's something that develops as he heads to Team USA select team and works with some of the top talents in the game
