Jerami Grant joins Memphis Grizzlies, aims for offensive contribution

Jerami Grant has been acquired by the Memphis Grizzlies in a trade finalized on June 29. He brings 12 years of NBA experience, from his recent tenure with the Portland Trail Blazers, where he averaged 18.8 points over four seasons. Grant's role on the roster raises questions about his position, as the Grizzlies have young players competing for minutes at both power forward and small forward. His ability to shoot from beyond the arc may help fill a critical need for the team. Grant’s health has fluctuated in recent years, but analysts believe he can adapt well to the Grizzlies' system. The next month will see Grant working to establish his fit with the Memphis roster ahead of the new season.
