Grimes' established scoring rate and opening-night finishing support double figures without requiring exceptional shooting.
13.4 PTS · 29.4 MIN LAST SEASON — Grimes has previously produced enough scoring in a supporting workload to make a modest minutes reduction manageable. His opportunities can come from attacking a rotating defense rather than controlling every possession.
10 PTS · 0-FOR-2 FROM THREE — The opener demonstrated a scoring path through finishes inside the arc and free throws. That gives him a way to reach double figures even when his outside shots do not fall.
Sexton's return can take away some of Grimes' secondary possessions. Strong perimeter pressure or a shorter wing stint can prevent him from finding enough clean attempts.
Settlement Rule: CASHES WITH QUENTIN GRIMES SCORING AT LEAST 10 POINTS; NO PUSH AT 9.5.
