Quentin Grimes’ future with the Philadelphia 76ers is unclear, but his seamless fit has been undeniable. His three-point shooting and perimeter defense morphed him into one of the NBA’s premier sixth men this season. But, with the 76ers nearing full health, those very traits have seldom shown in December.
Grimes has struggled to integrate into Philadelphia’s offense with Joel Embiid and Paul George inheriting larger roles. He was one of the 76ers’ main ball-handlers to start the season, leading him to play arguably the best basketball of his five-year career. But Grimes has yet to adjust to his surroundings and his shot profile has deteriorated as a result.
