Clemson men’s basketball coach Brad Brownell was not surprised forward Donte Grantham stuck his toes into the NBA draft waters, and in fact the Clemson coaches encouraged it.
“I think it is really good and to be honest with you, it keeps guys motivated,” Brownell said earlier this week at the Greenville Clemson Club’s Prowl & Growl event at Fluor Field. “He has been highly motivated in April. He has been in the gym more now than he ever has in terms of off-season stuff. It is exciting for him.”
Grantham, who did not get invited to the NBA Combine which will be May 9-14, does have scheduled workouts with three teams, two before the combine and one afterward.
