Traded by the Mavericks in early February, Quentin Grimes asserted himself as the beautiful surprise of the end of the 76ers season. On the spot, he notably learned to evolve alongside Guerschon Yabusele, on which he recently spread.
Failing to be able to ignite before the performances of their stars, fans of the 76ers did it in front of those of usual Role Players. It must be said that in the absence of Joel Embiid and Paul George, regular residents of the infirmary this season, their traditional soldiers had to raise their level of play. This was for example the case with Guerschon Yabusele, author of a great season for his return to the NBA.
Used in different roles and in different positions by Nick Nurse, the French interior has proven impeccable in Philadelphia. Unfortunately for him and his teammates, this was not enough to avoid the ordeal experienced by his frankness, simply 13th in the east (24-58). The fact remains a glimmer of hope for the future, just like another recruit obtained on the sidelines of the last Trade Deadline.
Quentin Grimes Cash on his relations with Guerschon Yabusele
Arrived from Dallas, Quentin Grimes quickly found his marks in the Sixers. Evidenced by his average astounding of 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 interception on the 28 matches he has played with his new team. A sparkling form which he owes not only to his talent, but also in part … in Yabusele, which he wanted to highlight in The Young Man and the Three :
Quentin Grimes : The teammate with whom I appreciated the most playing Philly? I would surely say Yabu. It would probably be him, yes. Everyone saw him play the Olympic Games, he really exploded and made a name for himself. Finally, people already knew who he was but he returned to the front of the stage.
Witness to the exploits of the tricolor international at the Paris Olympics, Grimes has been able to get to know him in recent weeks.
And it is clear that the two men were quick to establish strong links on the prosecution, as explained by the former Mavericks:
Quentin Grimes : What I like about in his game is the fact that he is a pick-And-pop player and that we have developed a beautiful alchemy on this game phase. If I go out of a screen and that I am made a take for two, I know that I only have to give the ball to Yabu and that it will sanction 3 points. Thanks to that, we have a nice connection.
Capable of serving Guerschon in the best conditions, Grimes also savor the fact that the latter gives him the same:
Quentin Grimes : He is constantly looking for me on the ground, so I tell myself that it is something positive for me. I mean, any player likes to have the ball in your hands. All that to say that playing with him has been fun so far.
Both free agents this summer, Guerschon Yabusele and will Quentin Grimes continue their path in the ranks of the 76ers? In any case, the franchise would have any interest in keeping this duo, whose agreement could again do wonders next year.
