Detroit — In Tuesday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks, Jerami Grant had the hardest assignment on the floor, having to guard two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, and then be guarded by the former defensive player of the year.
For the most part, Grant handled the matchup well, but in the first two minutes of the game, he showed that he can vary his game. Grant has been involved in a ton of isolation plays early in the season, but when he found himself open, he took advantage.
Grant had a pair of 3-pointers in the opening minutes, and it was emblematic of the way coach Dwane Casey wants the offense to run, with the ball moving quickly to find the open man.
