Quentin Grimes selected by Knicks in 2021 NBA Draft

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.
