Nerlens Noel is the Philadelphia 76ers’ most notable rookie, and K.J. McDaniels is the team’s most versatile first-year player. So where does that leave Jerami Grant? Despite the oft-breathtaking antics of his young teammates, “most exciting” still seems a fitting description.

Damn.
Grant, a second-rounder from Syracuse, is coming off a pair of consecutive double-digit scoring games after blocking a mind-boggling eight shots last week against the New York Knicks. And while he won’t reached either of those statistical thresholds tonight, he’s obviously giving Brett Brown and company a reminder of how explosive he can be.
The Sixers lead the Pistons by 14 with several minutes left in the game.
