He’ll get a shot cuz of the skills round the bucket but also bad on defense in college so can’t even imagine what cats would do to yo in the league
...Probly a few mins every couple games kinda guy when the offense is struggling
Woof.
So he's small, fast, plays for assists and is a turnstile on D?
Doesn't he struggle finishing too? Haven't watched him a ton, but think I remember reading that somewhere too.
: I’ve been in the No. 12 to No. 20 range for the last few months on Wagner, and the NCAA Tournament didn’t really change much for me there. He had some incredible highs and incredible lows. Against Florida State, he was the best player on the court, showcasing his ability to be a disruptive defender both on and off the ball; his ability to pass it and make plays for teammates with high-level reads; and his shooting ability. Then, against UCLA, he played one of the worst games I think I’ve ever seen from a potential lottery pick (1-of-10 from the field, an airball on a potential game-winning 3 and not nearly the defense we’ve come to expect from him). And honestly, this has been the rub with Wagner all year. He’s been great in spurts and has been rough at times. He has moments where he looks like a Robert Covington-like 3-and-D defender who wreaks havoc away from the ball, and then there are other moments where he can’t make a shot and gets scored on a ton when defending on the ball. He’s a difficult player to figure out right now. It really will come down to how his frame develops and how his shooting consistency works. Can he continue to gain strength and weight? And then, can he knock down open 3s consistently? I think I’m a believer in it; otherwise, I wouldn’t have him this high. But I don’t think he’s a no-doubter like some do.: Genuinely, there is not a story I love more in college basketball this season than Grimes.’ A former top-10 recruit in the country, Grimes was expected to be a one-and-done at Kansas as a lead primary initiator who could handle, pass and score. That wasn’t in the cards. He struggled a lot in his lone season in Lawrence and ended up not being able to turn pro. Instead, he transferred to Houston where he became the key leader for a Final Four team. Grimes has been a monster all year, too, winning the AAC Player of the Year award and earning a few third-team All-American berths in the process. Whereas he was a lead initiator when he was younger, he’s morphed his game into something that works for him now. He’s a terrific two-guard who can attack off closeouts, but more than that is going to absolutely crush you from behind the arc. He’s hit 41.3 percent on nearly 250 3-point attempts this year and looks incredibly confident every time he puts one up. With that type of shooting and the ability to handle it at his size on a secondary level, he’s emerged back onto the scene as a legitimate prospect. It just goes to show that not everyone’s journey is the same. It’s OK if a player struggles early in his career. We shouldn’t write that guy off. Instead, we should be patient and see how his game develops as he works toward hurdling what is often the first speed bump in an elite player’s career.
