Sixers’ Jerami Grant goes up to dunk on Jazz’s Brock Motum
Although he doesn’t have quite the name recognition of the team’s three high-profile centers, Philadelphia 76ers forward Jerami Grant is also a promising young player who general manager Sam Hinkie added through the draft. The 21-year-old shot just 35.2 percent from the field in his first season, but he has the skills and talent to develop into a solid piece for Philadlelphia.

Grant, son of ex-NBA vet Harvey Grant and brother of rookie New York Knicks point guard Jerian Grant, proved his athleticism very early in Thursday night’s Utah Summer League finale at EnergySolutions Arena. Just a few minutes into the game, Grant elevated over Utah Jazz summer player Brock Motum for a very impressive dunk. Take a look:
Things ended a little worse than they began for the Sixers, who fell to the Jazz 84-78 in overtime. Third-overall pick Jahlil Okafor scored 11 points with six turnovers as the Sixers coughed it up 25 times against only eight assists. But at least they had this dunk.
