I understand the thoughts that have good expectations about who Grimes is. However, not only have we not seen that sort of player in his production, I'm not even seeing something that looks like he has those hoped-for skills that have MLE potential. I definitely see no reason to believe he's a high efficiency shooter down the road, from both the results and the shot selection.

I see a poor man's Exum, in what he does on the floor, with some okay defensive skills (although not a lock down defender) and a willingness to shoot (which hopefully will show better results eventually, but so far doesn't go in).

In the BEST outcome I can envision, that ceiling doesn't get anywhere near the MLE. imo

Exum is a strange comp.  They are very different players.  Exum has a harder time pulling the trigger than Green from deep.  

Personally I plan on giving it more than 21 regular season minutes before making any kind of assessment.  This board loved Grant Willians for the first two weeks of last season.
