It’s always nice to see a former member of the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team thriving better than ever in the NBA. Look no further than Jerami Grant ‘14.
In the past decade, Grant’s career has been interesting, to say the least. Drafted with the 39th pick in the 2014 NBA Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers, he’s evolved from a flashy two-way wing in Philly to a bona fide starter with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Denver Nuggets, and Detroit Pistons.
Since joining the Portland Trail Blazers this year, Grant took the leap from quality contributor to fringe All-Star.
