Quentin Grimes has started off strong for the Philadelphia 76ers this season. Despite his complicated restricted free agency situation casting a cloud on his possible willingness to settle into a more streamlined and smaller role, he has managed to cement himself as one of the most important players on the roster.
Currently slotted in as their nominal sixth man, Grimes has far exceeded the value of his menial contract. Through 19 games, he has tallied nightly average of 17 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game, emerging as one of the clear favorites to win Sixth Man of the Year.
