14. Jerami Grant

It’ll be interesting where Jerami Grant fits with the Philadelphia 76ers once there’s more talent on the roster than that of a D-League team, but for now, the lengthy 6’8″ small forward is averaging 9.1 points and 4.7 rebounds in 26.5 minutes per game.

He’s only shooting 43.2 percent from the floor and a worrisome 21.2 percent from three-point range (on 1.8 attempts per game), but Grant has a massive wingspan and the athleticism to make timely defensive plays, which might explain his 1.6 blocks per game.

Grant has appeared in 63 games for the Sixers this season, and though there are still serious flaws in his game, there’s a chance a boost in talent on this roster might actually elevate his game, rather than condemn him to the edge of the rotation.
