7. Jerami Grant – Philadelphia 76ers/SF

Last Week: No. 9

We have officially seen the rise of Jerami Grant. The 6’8″ small forward had an awesome week as he scored in double figures in two out of three games. Grant’s best game of the week came against the New Orleans Pelicans as he was able to finish the game with an awesome stat line of 10 points on 4-for-7 shooting, two rebounds, two assists, and three blocked shots.

One of the highlights of the night was when Grant went to the baseline after he noticed that the Pelicans center, Jeff Withey, was guarding him on the perimeter. Grant exploded for a reverse dunk, and made one of the memorable highlights in his rookie season.

In addition, Grant also had a great game when he played against the Memphis Grizzlies. He finished with 16 points, two rebounds and one assist.

During Grant’s last game of the week he even helped the Sixers to get a win against the Detroit Pistons. Grant finished with four points, four rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocked shots.
