Tyrone Grant is a relentless inside worker
who may get into the league by being a rebounding and defensive specialist. Strictly a
power forward type, Grant, while undersized (probably 6'6"), does all the dirty work
inside and was a very key part to a good St. John's team. One could argue his absence from
the Duke game cost the Red Storm a big win. Grant knows his way around the paint well, but possesses no perimeter game
whatsoever. Had a few injury problems this past year (notably in his wrist) , but played
through them effectively. Played very well at the Portsmouth pre-draft camp, earning MVP
honors, but was surprisingly not invited on to Phoenix. With that said, that reminds me a
bit of Tyrone Braggs last year, who did very much of the same thing, and actually is much
of the same player. Braggs was the second to last pick of the draft last year, which
should be the worst case scenario for Grant this year. |
