Also "led by Grimes" . If he was leading my team based on what he's actually done on a college court I would have MASSIVE concerns if he was the #1 option. That's based on actual evidence, because he was terrible last year. He can't even make but 60% of his FT's man. Can you even have him on the court at the end of games to close it out. It's just like blind faith, because there is certainly nothing he has actually done on a college court to support him being one of the best players in this league much less this country. Infact the actual evidence says the opposite. I'll believe otherwise when he actually makes shots or gets rebounds, steals, assist basically anything at an above average rate.
in italy, nate (fever) didn't play, dejon (food poisoning) only played 1 game...all 4 games were blowout wins, 2 were vs pro teams..grimes led the team in scoring, assists, and rebounding ...
1 month before he went to kansas, he led team usa to gold (getting mvp) and was top 3 on the team in scoring, rebounding, assist and steals ..he averaged double digits in the nba combine scrimmages, and was told he'd be drafted...(jarron did like 3 a game in the gleague combine scrimmages)
he started every single game on a top 15 teams, over numerous other elite players
in the red and white & scrimmage 2 months ago.. it was basically new comers vs returnees (nate didnt play, dejon did) he led his team to victory, leading the team in scoring and assists, 2nd in rbs.. opposing team fouled to finish (cause grimes team was up) the game, grimes made every one
houston played top 15 texas tech in a scrimmage 5 days ago (nate played, dejon didnt) grimes had 8 assists and 8 rbs, and Sampson said he could have gotten more.... no one knows who officially won but Sampson post game "i can tell we are going to be a really hard team to play".. texas tech post game "we have a lot of work to do" (im going to assume we won)
there is tons of evidence, your just a blind hater
sampson on qutentin grimes an his skills from last week
https://theathletic.com/1316173/2019/10/...t-houston/
- sampson already calls him an elite play maker (getting assists)..and will be an elite defender and rebounder after he learns the system
- says he won starting job almost as soon as he got on campus
- his big question mark is consistent offense, outside of drawing fouls, he is good at everything not great at anything..building something consistent is key for him or his offensive output will fluctuate
his struggles at kansas:
ive already told you all of this before... but in that article is from sampsons mouth himself
- says grimes was a spot shooter at kansas..and he isn't sure why, thinks grimes is an average shooter at best at this point in his career... and it kept him away from the paint with his size (for rebounding), and didn't allow him to show his greatest asset as a playmaker ...says we have no interest in using him like that
KEEP THAT SAME ENERGY ALL SEASON!!!.. you think grimes is trash. lol your evaluation skills are trash ....cant wait for the season, and to beat your bum team...
trash grimes vs elite garder..cant wait!!
