Quentin Grimes wants to learn as much as possible from Klay Thompson

We thought he was built to win over the Knicks over the long term, and yet, Quentin Grimes finds himself at the Mavericks, after a quick detour by the Pistons. There are worse places to fall, especially since the shooter believes he will be able to shine more in Dallas.

“I have the impression that with the altruism and freedom that everyone has, I will be able to show as much as in New York”, anticipates Klay Thompson's understudy. “When someone was injured, I was always able to show myself more in attack.”

Learn from one of the best shooters in history

Two years ago, Grimes started 66 matches, averaging more than 11 points. Another strong point: its defense. “On defense, every time I'm on the field, I try to stop whoever is in front of me. Whether it's the best player, the tallest or the smallest, it doesn't matter! »

Another advantage of playing for the Mavericks is that he will be able to learn from Klay Thompson, one of the best shooters in history. “I try to talk to him all the time. I'm with him almost every day after training. He's a really good mentor to me, telling me little things about my shooting and how to get easier shots on baseline drives. It’s not for nothing that it’s called “Action Klay”. Learning from one of the best shooters in history can only improve my game.”
