The Portland Trail Blazers have started the season 1-1 with a heartbreaking loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves and a recent blowout win over the Golden State Warriors. The most consistent standout performer so far has been none other than veteran forward Jerami Grant.
No, that wasn't an oversight. It's really Jerami Grant.
The guy who averaged 14.4 points on 37.3% shooting from the field last season. The guy who lost the starting lineup battle to Shaedon Sharpe to begin the season.
Grant is just 31 years old, suggesting that he was always capable of positive regression after a lackluster 2024-25 season.
