« I was really proud of the way Jerami played tonight », greets Dwane Casey. Despite a heavy defeat conceded at home against the Grizzlies, Jerami Grant had his usual statistical performance with his 20 points (7/13 on shots), 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks. This meeting was held in the still particular context of the post-trade deadline.
The name of the Pistons winger circulated during the evening but he did not move. “ I was afraid he was dizzy (with transfer deadline) But no. He ran the ball, took what the defense gave him and fought back. I’ve seen this stuff happen over the years, guys in swap rumors. He really played the right way “, continues his coach.
Despite rumors surrounding him, Jerami Grant had been assured that he would not move in on the part of his GM, Troy Weaver. « I spoke to him long before, so I knew. I am a piston. I am here, I will stay here “, Displays the player, aware of having changed dimension since his arrival in Michigan.
The strong winger had been rewarded for his good performances with the Nuggets, in particular during the 2020 playoffs. The Pistons had offered him a lucrative contract of 60 million dollars over three years.
The Grizzlies, a role model
Even if this arrival was made as part of the “free agency”, the Pistons want to follow a model that shines today: that of their opponents of the evening, the Grizzlies. The latter first climbed the slope thanks to the Draft with the selections of Jaren Jackson Jr. in 2018, then Ja Morant the following year.
Detroit has also been able to draft high in the past two years with the arrivals of Killian Hayes and then Cade Cunningham. ” They were in the same situation as us when they arrived.Judge Dwane Casey about the Jackson – Morant tandem. “They added a lot of good plays around these guys. Steven Adams is a very important element for them. Their IQ has really increased over the years. We should be inspired by their philosophy: shooting, inside size and basketball IQ. That’s what we’re trying to build here. »
In support of Jerami Grant and their young backs, the Pistons will now be able to rely on a Draft comrade of Jaren Jackson Jr (and Luka Doncic…), Marvin Bagley, recovered in a massive transfer in exchange for Trey Lyles and Josh Jackson. ” We have a lot of potential. We have a good core of young players, extremely talented, as everyone can attest. We just have to put everything in place and start chaining the victories enthuses Jerami Grant.
He adds, by way of conclusion: That will take time. We still have 27 games to play. We will be healthy for many of them. We will then have a better idea of the situation. »
