Position: SG/SF
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 200lbs
Accolades:
All SWAC Team
(JUCO) (04), SWAC All-Tournament Team (JUCO) (04), All-Big 10 First Team
– coaches (Second Team – media) (05), All-Big 10 Tournament Team (05).
Scouting Report:
A slasher
with great hops. Has no outside shot so he relies on beating his man
off the dribble to score.
Strengths:
Great scorer off
the dribble. Great leaping ability also allows him to grab a lot of
boards. Strong physical player.
Weaknesses:
No outside shot. Turns the ball over way too much. May be too small to
play the 3 in the NBA, but his lack of a long range shot limits his
ability to play the 2. Also will have trouble defensively in the pros.
Projected 2006 Draft
Range:
Late second round – undrafted.
Consensus:
Grier’s lack of
an outside shot and size will limit his chances in the pros. The fact
that his game seems to have taken a step back his senior year will also
hurt him.
