The excuse for his poor play was that he was injured. But, if he wasn't .....
I don't believe he was awful. I read he lost confidence and Dante was the better player last year. Grimes wasn't happy with his role and the Knicks decided to move him for two short term veterans for a playoff push.
I could be wrong with the above, but I don't believe he was awful. He did have a dip in percentages. I think confidence can impact this. He went from being a core role player to being passed by Dante. BTW, Dante went from being dropped in MIL, to being OK in Sacramento and Golden State to finally finding his place where he had a breakout season. Sometimes it takes a while or it may require a different place. Will that happen to Grimes? TBD.
