Detroit Pistons: Jerami Grant has helped change the culture in Detroit

Pro: Jerami Grant is a hardworking professional who CHOSE to come to Detroit. Not many free agents make this choice, so he represents a big first step in establishing a sustainable winning culture in Detroit.

Ranking the roster from least to most untouchable. light. Related Story

Grant is a respected veteran who just played on Team USA in the Olympics and can sell the culture of the city to other players. He’s the type of unselfish player that other guys like to run with, so he is a selling point when the team is trying to acquire free agents in the future or convince their own guys to stay.

Jerami Grant is the perfect building block, as he takes nothing off the table and puts plenty on it, and he and Cade Cunningham will be key in landing star players in the future.

Con: None. There is not a single downside to signing Jerami Grant long term when it comes to team culture. He is a humble and unselfish teammate who will fit in and be an asset.

Verdict: Re-sign this man today!

It’s hard to see much downside to re-signing Jerami Grant for the rest of his prime and beyond, as he is the type of player who makes everyone better and will be an ambassador for the city of Detroit.

I hope that Jerami Grant finishes his career with the Detroit Pistons and is a big part of leading the team into a new era of success.
