Can Grant Play Some 5?

Seems like he has the same length as Ace and more strength, plus the footwork to do what needs to be done there.

Also a quick leaper who can protect the rim and grab some rebounds.

Bonus outside shooting.

I would like them to use the small ball lineup with Grant also. Lathan can start but I'd go with Grant at the 5 in place of Ogbole.

Let's stop trying heap more on kids than they are ready for. Our rebounding would be worse than it is now w Grant at the 5. Go bigger and longer w Grant, Ace, and a the center.

Grant has shown way more ability to be aggressive for the ball and a rim protector than EO even in limited time. While he looks very awkward out there at times(double dribble) he plays with an aggressive streak. I wish EO had that in him—even Lathan(on rebounding)

i believe he has already played some 5 in the last game, for only a few minutes.

This is how I see it too. Grant is a more active defender and rebounder. He can also run the floor and is more of a threat to finish on lobs, whether on fast breaks or pick n roll. Plus he will take (and can knock down) a trey when open.
