Odd, huh? Not sure how that works if Stoudamire eventually becomes our HC (love what I’m seeing so far compared to Joe Mazz).

Not sure if them being cousins is stranger than the fact Grant turned down academic admission to Harvard, Yale and Princeton (again, strictly academic offers). Wonder if he’s the smartest guy on our roster?

Jaylen went to Cal

Tatum went to Duke

Kornet went to Vanderbilt

Grant might not be the smartest. But the good news is that we have a smart team.

1. I really liked how Damon coached the squad against a potential Finals matchup in the Clips. I think he learned not to try running out the clock like that again, but against 25 or so teams on most nights, it would have been a non-issue. He simply underestimated how much the Clips can do in a short amount of time. We won nonetheless.

2. Damon is clearly a bada** whereas Mazz seems like a wimp at times.

Didn't know he got into Harvard.  I know his mom is smart.  People talk about her as if she's doing rocket science.

Yeah, it's hard to compare athletes to generally admitted students based upon intelligence.  I know that most major programs admit students well below their normal academic criteria; just because a player gets into Duke doesn't mean that they're particularly intellectually gifted.  They're probably above average intelligence, but not necessarily top-5%.

With the Ivy League schools, I know a lot of them take the position "we don't give athletic scholarships", but that's nonsense.  They still reduce their criteria to allow athletes in, although I think it's probably to a lesser degree. 

My guess is that Grant would be one of the guys I'd most like to hang out with.  He seems to have a lot of inner nerd to him.

He plays Catan, all I need to know that I could hang out with the dude.  Unless of course he hits me with a monopoly card right after someone just rolled my resource.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class
