ESPN actually gave grades for each player in the rising stars. Here is what they wrote about Grimes:

Quentin Grimes, New York Knicks
Grade: A

Had Team Joakim emerged victorious, Grimes would have been an easy MVP pick after scoring 27 points between the two games, including 14 of his team’s 20 in the finals. Already, Grimes led Team Joakim in scoring in the semifinals with 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting, including a pull-up 3 in transition to reach the target score after stealing the ball from Scoot Henderson.

That was just an appetizer for the finals, when Grimes knocked down four 3-pointers and was the only player on his team to score multiple baskets. He also used the gravity created by his hot shooting to set up a lob to Giddey and a layup. Never one to ignore defense, Grimes switched on Banchero and forced him to miss a heavily contested 3 and later blocked him going up for another attempt.

Grimes becoming too expensive to resign because he dominated the rising star game would be pretty Knicksy.

NBA reputations are funny things. Happy for him though. He’s good despite the recent semi-funk

Didn’t think I’d spend an hour of my Friday night watching a replay of the Rising Stars games, but here I am.

Credit to Noah for drafting mostly defensive players on a weekend that nobody plays defense.

Maybe Grimes needs to play with the 2nd unit and get that Josh Hart green light

Oh yeah, I think I saw you behind the bench. I bet you could see the resignation in the Hawks eyes from there… but to be fair you could’ve seen it from the back row too.

To be fair, Giddey is the only other one on the team who looks like he belongs

2 more points and almost another steal

Don’t judge me, but I decided to catch a little of the Rising Stars game. Been fun, because Grimes is dominating. Scored 12 of the 16 points so far, assisted on 2 more, a block and a steal. Best player on the court.

Grimes dominating the rising stars game. I don’t think the announcers were prepared for that.
