The New York Knicks selected former Houston basketball guard Quentin Grimes with the 25th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.
After being considered a major bust after a disappointing freshman season at Kansas, the former five-star recruit reinvented his game during his two years under Kelvin Sampson at UH.
Grimes had a breakout 2020-21 season for the Cougars, leading the team in scoring with 17.8 points per game highlighted shooting 40.3 percent from 3-point range. Grimes showed his improvement on the boards, pulling down 5.7 rebounds a game, and also took a major stride forward defensively.
