After a bit of a hiatus, the Duke Chronicle’s series on Duke’s roster returns. This time Illinois transfer Jacob Grandison is featured. Here’s an excerpt:
“Grandison sticks to the basics from deep. Most of his trey attempts are not from intricate dribbles or overreaching stepback shots. Rather, much like a predator eyeing its prey, he quietly probes the opposing defense and patiently waits. With a quick touch of the ball and a flick of the wrist, he makes his opponents pay—whether it be a wide-open corner triple or a quick shot with a defender in his face...If, and when, a defender steps up high to prevent an easy trey, he slips behind them for an easy open look in the paint.
