Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant has excelled in the first week of the 2024-25 NBA season, averaging 21.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and an incredible 2.3 blocks per game over four appearances. He leads the team in scoring and three-pointers made, is second in three-point percentage among major rotation players, and is second among non-centers in rebounds per game.
Blazer’s Edge writer Joe Moore named Grant as Portland’s first player of the week for the new year. There wasn’t even that strong of a second contender. Grant has led the Blazers through pretty much every outing this year.
