Wow, that's quite a word. What makes you think that?

I don't know the player really, just watched highlights when we got him.

When he was actually getting minutes on a Thibs Knick team, he showed to be a 2-way force with consistent 3pt shooting. 

So much so the Knicks outright refused to include him as a foundational piece for a Donovan Mitchell trade. He showed so much promise that the Knicks said "We want Mitchell, but there are only 2 untouchable guys on the roster, and he's one of them." 

As a starter, he had multiple 7-10 game stretches where he averaged 20+ppg on 50/45/90 averages with great defense in his 2nd year. His 3rd year he got off to a shaky start due to a wrist injury, which led to Thibs starting Donte DiVencenzo. He then got hurt again with a pretty nasty bone bruise/knee sprain and was traded for Bojan+Burks.


Grimes' biggest downsides are his injury history. But his upside could still potentially be a guy that flirts with all-star recognition. Like a Desmond Bane. He's shown he could have stretches of that before an injury derailed his process.

So I'm a big believer in him, especially next to Luka.
