Quentin Grimes is a somewhat high-risk, high-reward prospect in this year’s draft. A McDonald’s All-American and MVP and gold-medal winner at the 2018 FIBA Americas U18 tournament coming out of high school, Grimes was predicted to be a potential top 5 pick in the 2019 NBA draft, a one and done in Kansas under Bill Self. However, he seemed to lose his mojo, only averaging 8.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game and shooting 38.4% from the floor (60.3% from the line), taking a backseat tp upperclassmen Dedrick Lawson and LaGerald Vick. With Grimes exploring entering the draft but ultimately turning it down, Self had already filled his scholarship spot, so Grimes was allowed to immediately transfer home to the University of Houston.
