Jerian Grant knows firsthand just how long it can take for someone to come out of their shell on a basketball court.
The De Matha High School graduate was a teammate of former Orlando Magic guard Victor Oladipo and saw Oladipo grow from a player growing into a high school star to an underrecruited bench player with the Indiana Hoosiers to the eventual second overall pick. And on from there from budding star to struggling role player to All-Star.
Grant knows that development can take some time. Not everyone comes out of school or wherever ready to be a star.
