It has not been the year Jerian Grant or the Orlando Magic wanted. Not anywhere close.
The Magic acquired Jerian Grant in a bad-salary-for-bad-salary swap as a flier in a free agency year. Grant had bounced around the league some already showing some promise but no general consistent improvement. Orlando, still rebuilding, seemed like a good place to give Grant the kind of role to map out a NBA future.
It did not work out. He is averaging a career-worst 4.1 points per game. He is shooting worse than 40 percent from the floor and a 47.
