It wasn’t one particular thing that Quentin Grimes did in the past two games that wowed you. It wasn’t just his shot-making or his defense or his play-making or his ball-moving.

It was everything.

It was a glimpse into why the Knicks and coach Tom Thibodeau are so high on him. It was what everyone saw during the Las Vegas Summer League, when the second-year guard was so impressive across the board, showing he was more than just a spot-up shooter.

With Cam Reddish and Derrick Rose missing the final two games of the recent five-game road trip due to injury, the Knicks finally unleashed Grimes, and he produced at both ends of the floor. He had 10 points, eight assists and five rebounds in a loss to the Suns, and he put up eight points, five rebounds and two steals in a win over Thunder. He started and played at least 32 minutes in each contest.
