Jerian Grant

With the Bulls both tanking and dealing with injuries last season, Grant was able to set a career high in minutes per game in 2017-18 (22.8). He significantly improved his skills as a distributor, seeing his assists per 36 minutes rise from 4.7 over his first two seasons to 7.3 last year. However, his scoring ability remains a work in progress, as he shot only 41.5 percent from the field, 32.4 percent from deep and 74.5 percent from the free-throw line, marking a decline in true shooting percentage from 2016-17. This year, the Notre Dame product should have another shot at seeing significant run, as he was traded to Orlando -- a team that dealt away starting point guard Elfrid Payton at last season’s trade deadline. Grant’s only other real competition on the rebuilding Magic is veteran D.J. Augustin, whose workload could fall by the wayside late in the season if it becomes clear the Magic are out of the playoff picture. Where Grant will end up in Fantasy drafts will likely be determined by owners’ optimism regarding his workload. If there’s a belief he will see around 30 minutes per night, selecting him with a late-round flier in a standard league could be justified. Otherwise, it may be best to utilize a wait-and-see approach, keeping an eye on Grant while he’s on the waiver wire. For reference, per 36 minutes last season, he averaged 13.2 points, 7.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.3 threes.
