Grant reminds me of one of those under the radar St Mary's players that torch Cal

As a stretch 4, who has improved his rebounding and defense, he's been a major player for this team ever since he got off the bench (he was an afterthought for Martin)

Congrats for the award

🙌 PAC-12 PLAYER OF THE WEEK! 🙌

Make his parents go to every game.

He completely stood out in the Wyking years as the one person playing sound basketball. I'm glad he's persevered and gotten his opportunity. I think he's also been a glue guy who's doing important things even when his shot isn't going down.

His rebounding this year has been a revelation. Greatly improved and he has put up some big numbers.

Grant seems like a great guy. I believe his folks are out here watching him play in person right now, correct? For the record, I have totally forgiven him for making me feel old by calling me "sir" a couple of years ago.

If I had some Cal Basketball wishes for the New Year, one would be that Grant hits 30%+ on his threes in every single remaining game this season. (He will have several games where he shoots considerably better than that, but he has always been streaky, so I wish he had a 30% "floor".)


(Another wish would be that Fox would land a really good class-of-2022 point guard. Hmmm... maybe I will make this a separate thread.)
