Only watched a few Bama games and I'm dumb and obviously biased...felt like they looked best when he was a focal point

I think at the very least Grant answered the level of competition criticisms that arose last year with his tourney performances. It'll all boil down to how he does in the pre-draft circuit over the next 2 months but I'd hope he's gotten himself back on the NBA radar. If he can develop a consistent 3pt shot he'll be an NBA player IMO.

Plus Dom gathered the dates coming up for Grant Nelson:
Will be interesting to see if Nelson goes back to Alabama for a Covid Season. Perhaps he can make the good $$ again, or even more, from NIL and not need to be a Pro somewhere. Keep working on that 3 point shooting…Dom Izzo

Grant played so well last night. It was sure fun to watch and he should have had an and 1 on that dunk.
If it flies it dies.
Long for the days of freezing in the south stands of Dacotah Field.
He had some nice blocks and altered some shots around the rim but his perimeter defense was not good, especially on the screens. He was regularly out of position but that is something he can get better at as he has the athleticism to do a much better job away from the rim.

hes gotta be garenteed first rounder now i didnt know big luke mormann was the one that discovered him wtf isnt he on our staff
I dont see him in any of the top mocks other than NBA Draft Net has him going 50th overall. He'll likely need to really show out in the pre-draft process to get any shot at going 1st round IMO.
