This may come as a surprise, but Jerami Grant actually used to coach Markelle Fultz.
It was less than a decade ago when both were teens in the Hyattsville, Md. area. Grant had recently wrapped up a successful junior season at national high school basketball powerhouse DeMatha Catholic. Fultz was in junior high school and an incoming freshman at DeMatha the following year, with ambitions of one day making the grade on the ball team.
Varsity players are required to coach young hopefuls at the DeMatha Basketball Camp, which services, boys and girls ages 7 to 16, at least once a week.
