On December 12, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and in a game that ended earlier, the Knicks lost again, and they lost to the Bucks 97-112 in this game, continuing their sluggish performance in December. In this game, Knicks main guard Barrett could not play because of the health and safety agreement, which also greatly affected their strength, and it is not surprising that they eventually lost to the powerful Bucks. Of course, Barrett's absence in this game actually gave other young players some opportunities, such as Quentin Grimes, the No. 25 pick they selected this year.
Grimes started the game in 39 minutes, shooting 9-of-17 from the field and 7-of-13 from three-point range, with 27 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. Although he made 5 turnovers in this game due to his experience and confrontational weaknesses, the flaws were not hidden, and for a young player who had not received any good opportunities before, being able to shoot 7 three-pointers in a single game against the defensively tough Bucks did show his excellent projection ability, and also showed his good ability to block and dismantle.
As the No. 25 pick in this year's draft, Grimes has not received much attention, first because his pick is relatively low, and secondly because he really did not get any good opportunities in the Knicks before, so everyone is still relatively unfamiliar with the 21-year-old. But I'm sure fans who watched today's game will love the young player. His three-point shooting ability is really good, and the shot is very fast, a bit of Curry's charm, and he is also a master of blocking and dismantling, he is very good at using the cover of big players to find shooting space, and from here we can also see his potential to grow into a top scorer in the future.
Rockets fans will certainly not be unfamiliar with Grimes, because before this year's draft, the Rockets also tried him, when there was always news that the Rockets intended to take him with the 24th pick, but in the end they selected Christopher with the 24th pick, thus missing Grimes, and I don't know if the Rockets will regret it now. From the overall performance of the two this season, Grimes's performance is still relatively more amazing, Christopher still looks very unstable, so then Christopher should work hard, he needs to prove himself, let himself live up to the expectations of the Rockets, his recent performance has also made fans feel happy, and then we will see who can reach a higher height in the NBA.
