Syracuse Basketball alumnus Jerami Grant is earning buzz for his play in Detroit, and the forward should be headed towards his first All-Star selection.
Former Syracuse basketball star Jerami Grant raised a lot of eyebrows when he accepted a three-year, $60 million contract with the Detroit Pistons in November. Heads turned more when Grant’s former team, the Denver Nuggets, reportedly offered him a similar contract to return to the runners-up in the Western Conference.
To explain the decision, Grant said he was “intrigued” by the challenge to grow as a player and being the go-to guy with the Pistons.
