Quentin Grimes Is The Tragicomic Protagonist Of The Terminal NBA Season | Defector
Briefly

Quentin Grimes has demonstrated remarkable adaptability throughout his career, fitting seamlessly into various teams while excelling in his defense. His recent trades have showcased his modular skill set, but now with Philadelphia, he is thriving as a primary offensive player. Over the past six weeks, he has averaged 21.4 points per game with stellar efficiency, emphasizing his growth beyond the '3-and-D' label. Grimes’s ability to lead an offense has become evident, particularly following significant performances like his career-high 44-point game against the Warriors.
I've always liked Quentin Grimes. He's athletic and smart, and when he broke out as the fifth starter for the cool-as-hell 2022-23 Knicks, he did so by defending the point of attack with ragged intensity.
The bummer of Grimes's career is that his modularity and scant caloric demands, the very traits that made him fit in so well with New York, also made him fit in everywhere else.
But Philadelphia has no such player, and Grimes has spent the past six weeks showing off what he can do if he has the runway to lead an offense.
He has been legitimately great at it, scoring 21.4 points per game with great efficiency and posting career-best numbers across the board.
