Scouting Journals for Winters Grady

Winters Grady is a shot maker, that is where he shines on the basketball court. Listed at 6-foot-6, Grady has good length and he carries a sturdy frame with projectability as he continues to move forward in his career. Grady has range on his shot, able to space the floor and pull gravity to the corners. During his junior season at Prolific Prep, he showed to be a knock-down spot shooter as he bought into that role. However, over the summer, playing on the Adidas 3SSB Circuit, he was a featured guy. Scoring over a point per possession, Grady showed that he could be at the top of a scouting report, get to spots, and still score the ball efficiently. Athleticism will be the question with him. While he understands team defense and help side, can he stay in front guarding on an island? The average burst can also get in the way at times finishing at the rim and in traffic. With that, Grady’s long-term role seems to be somewhere in between what he showed during the summer and during the high school season. He makes decisive decisions with the ball and he plays with a lot of confidence. There is a toughness factor to his game as well, not afraid to mix it up and does not shy away from physicality.
