Granger had a nice game, and could turn out to be a nice player. But he is a perfect example of one of those guys who for some reason got some positive publicity after the draft, and now everything jumped on his bandwagon. "Can you believe Granger fell so low, the Pacers got a steal!" "Granger, from New Mexico, has all star potential!" "Granger has the makings to become a Reggie Miller type playing in Indiana!"
These are the types of things we heard after he was drafted. Ever since, the Danny Granger bandwagon has been stuffed to the rafters. The guy next to me at the game: "I think this Danny Granger is going to be real good." Me: "No, you like everyone else, don't know shit about Danny Granger, but you've read that he is going to be real good." Listen, he's got decent numbers (13 points, 5 boards, 45% from the field) and he could turn out to be a nice role player in the future, but please don't memorize some shit you heard on tv or read on hoopshype and pretend you came up with it.
