A lot people can make a jumper. D. Howard, Tyson chandler, Josh Smith, Deandre Jordan, Shaq, and etc can make a jump shot. Can they make it consistently? I don't think he can.

I actually think WCS can make the jumper enough to be effective. He doesn't have to turn into Jason Smith. He'll mix in other offense which he's is more efficient at but if he can make a couple of Jumpers a game that would be huge. He has the ability to do it. He just needs to let it fly and not worry.

This year we saw how our bigs that weren't known to shoot were encouraged to do so and they actually were able to knock some shots down. It's not like we're gonna be asking him to be the primary scoring option. He just has to confidently take open shots in the flow of the offense when it's there. Of all the things he brings to the table his lack of offense in college is the least concerning to me.

This is a motion offense with lots of ball and player movement. As long as WCS is moving he'll be a scoring threat. When he cuts thru to the basket teams will have to pay attention to him. He'll get more than enough dunks off the motion and screens in this offense.

Grant could lowkey be the next James Harden. I adore everything about this game. Acquiring him and another big would do so much for this franchise.

Guys like him get overlooked all the time. Then in the NBA when they are winning and leading their team people suddenly realize their value. He's not the sexy pick but I think he'd be a nice addition to this roster. Maybe if Phil can get another pick we could get this kid.
