Golden hometown interview

[SFspidur]

Nice piece, although I’m confused by his talk of being a forward coming out of high school but now being a 5. Somebody should have told him nobody uses position names anymore.

Saints grad Golden is super for Spiders

Grant Golden, a 6-foot-10 Saint James graduate, continues to scale the wall of basketball accomplishments during his senior/postgraduate season at the University of Richmond.

And guess what - he could come back for ANOTHER year if he wanted!!!!!

Question on that - do you think that would warrant an asterisk in the record books?

All of those records will have asterisks on them. But does anyone really care about the asterisk. Your still in the record book at the end of the day.

Great article about a very fine young man. He made quite an impression on my grandson by sticking around after a game to talk with him at length.

big fan. his lack of quick twitch athleticism might keep him out of the NBA ... and limits him from being a plus defender in college. but he's big, strong, and very highly skilled. he can have as long a career as he wants in Europe.

 

[SpiderTrap]

Agreed - don't think the NBA is a realistic option for him. Best chance is find a mid-level league in Europe where he can be one of the better players on the team and cash in for as long as he can or he wants to.

I don’t know about the different levels in Europe, but are the upper levels so much better that he couldn’t play with them?

 

[Eight Legger]

I think yes. It took TJ a couple years to get to the highest level abroad, and he was probably more refined than Grant.

 

[spiderman]

Grant's significantly bigger which opens more doors. I believe he'll play high level like TJ.
