NBA Comparison
Shawn Marion is an all-time great defensive player, so it would be foolish to say Grant is like him, but there is potential to become a similar type of defender who capable of guarding both guards and forwards as well as blocking shots and rebounding. Marion also took time to grow into an offensive threat and make jumpshots consistently, which will likely be the case for Grant as well. The potential is all there, though it is highly unlikely he ever averages 20 points a game like Marion did at points in his career.
Draft Projection
A lot may depend on how he measures out, if he can come in at 6-9, teams may look at him at either forward position which will help his standing. Grant has high upside and may appeal to teams looking for potential high impact but don't have a top ten pick. He is also a project so I would expect that he ends up being drafted somewhere between picks 10 and 20.
