Jeremy Grant is finally making it off the bench for the Blazers

A month ago, during the “media day”, he assured that he would not expect such a setting. Jerami Grant however, he had to make a decision: the winger is now coming off the Blazers bench. It’s been like that since the beginning of the season. First for him with the Blazers, and even since the 2019/20 season with the Nuggets.

Between the two of them, he found himself statistically with the Pistons. ” I’m just trying to play basketball. Whatever it is, I’ll take it. But I’m trying to play basketball », he failed on the heels of its first release of the year. Sixth, he had a big game with 29 points (10/14 shooting) against the Wolves.

He then admitted, without further explanation, that there is a difference in approach in terms of rhythm, due to this change. ” I don’t become a worse player because I come off the bench ” he said after another reporter followed up on the subject. The 31-year-old may not have been thrilled, his change in status having a direct positive impact on his production.

He no longer goes to the middle distance

Because since his initial release, the power forward has played a series of high-level matches, focusing on scoring, averaging 21.6 points with excellent percentages: 52.5% on shots, including 46.7% on threes. A far cry from his modest production of 14 points (37%) last year, when he played 5 more minutes.

What does Tiago Splitter like about him? ” His attitude. He takes the shots we want, ie. layups and 3-pointers, fewer mid-range shots », smiles replacement Chauncey Billups.

Last year, Jeremy Grant took 56 mid-range shots (for 36% success), as well as 76 in the racket, without being in the “restricted zone” (closest to the circle – only 24% success). After five games this season, he has taken just two shots from mid-range this season.

« I know he loves those shots, but we’re trying to show him other ways to score. He’s been amazing so far. (It fits) into our system, the way we play », welcomes his coach, whose team now occupies 5th place in the West with a positive record (3 wins and 2 losses).
