23 days! There are still 23 days to go before the NBA trading deadline this season (February 11). Don't say anything, let the transaction come more violently.
A two-wheel show! Plus-minus 1st to 2nd in attack, why 12 teams are chasing him
He was in the 2014 second-round pick (39th overall pick), never selected as an All-Star, and in his 8-year career, he spent a total of 76ers, Thunder, Nuggets, pistons on four teams. He's the hottest star on the trade market this year, with 12 teams wanting him.
He's Geramy. Grant, look at Grant's statistics at the Pistons this season, why do so many teams want him?
Due to injury absences, Grant has only played 24 games this season, averaging 33 minutes per game, averaging 20.1 points, 4.8 boards and 2.6 assists per game, looking at Grant's regular statistics, playing quite well, but let's look at Grant's advanced statistics this season.
First, offensive efficiency
Grant's offensive efficiency of 97.3 this season, the second-to-last in the league, (only the number of forward players who have played more than 24 times and played more than 25 minutes)
Second, positive and negative values
Grant has a plus-minus of -7.6 this season, the league's first-to-last, (only 24 or more appearances, and more than 25 minutes of playing time forward players)
Third, compared with last season
Compared to last season, scoring slipped 2.2 points, shooting percentage fell 2%, three-point shooting fell 2%, and in the second year of the Pistons, Grant did not go to the next level, but also declined.
But such a Grant, why are there so many teams pursuing it? Come to think of it, there may be three reasons.
One, the small ball era
Grant, 27, is too suitable for today's small ball era.
1, have height
At 2.03 meters tall, he can play both as a striker and as a small ball center.
2, the offense is comprehensive
After coming to the Fish Belly Piston, Grant finally had the opportunity to fight monsters and upgrade.
In 2019, in the Nuggets, he averaged just over 1.8 times per game and shot 50% from the field.
Last season in the Pistons, he averaged more than 5.3 shots per game and shot 47 percent.
This season in the Pistons, he averaged 4 breaks per game and shot 45% from the field.
Only played 24 games this season, the sample is too small, let's look at the distribution of Grant's shots last season,
75 of 144 shots from the basket and shooting 52.1%
41 of 111 in the middle distance, shooting 37%
115-of-329 three-pointers shooting 35 percent.
3. Defensively powerful
There are too few samples this season, we look at Grant defense last season, against Grant defense, the opponent shot 47.1%, of which the opponent shot 55% of the two-point shot rate and the three-point shooting rate of 33.5%.
In the 2019-2020 season, facing Grant's defense, the shooting rate of opposing players was only 42%, of which the opposing players shot 50% of two-pointers and 28.5% of three-pointers.
With height, offense across the board, and defensive strength, Grant is perfect for this small-ball era.
Second, the ability to fight hard
Grant hasn't played the playoffs in the Pistons, but has played in both the Nuggets and thunder, and in 2018, at the Thunder, he averaged 11.6 points and 5.4 boards per game in the playoffs, shooting 50 percent from the field, 45 percent from three-point range, and averaging 1.8 three-pointers per game.
In 2019, at the Nuggets, he averaged 11.6 points and 3.3 boards per game in the playoffs, shooting 41% from the field, 33% from three-point range, and averaging 1.6 three-pointers per game. Such a Grant, who is not afraid of losing the chain in the playoffs, is absolutely trustworthy.
Third, the contract price
Grant's 3-year, 60 million contract expires in 2023, this contract is short, the operation space after the transaction is large, and the 27-year-old Grant, who is in the year of the fight, takes 20 million a year, which is really not much.
Grant's poor high-level data may only show that Grant is not suitable for being the boss, but as a second or third boss, it may still be very suitable.
Who will Grant spend? Let's wait and see.
Fans, which team Is Grant most likely to be sent to, leave me a message to discuss.
