College career

In his first college game, Grimes had 21 points and six 3-pointers against Michigan State.[9] As a freshman at Kansas, Grimes averaged 8.4 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game, shooting 34 percent from the 3-point line and 38.4 percent from the field. After the season, he declared for the 2019 NBA draft but withdrew before the deadline and decided to transfer to Houston.[10]

Grimes was granted a waiver and was eligible to play for Houston immediately instead of sitting out a season.[9] On November 19, 2019, he scored a career-high 32 points to help beat Rice 97–89.[11] Grimes scored 21 points and pulled down six rebounds versus Texas State on December 4 and had 24 points and four rebounds in a road victory at South Carolina on December 8. He was named American Athletic Conference player of the week on December 9.[12] As a sophomore, Grimes averaged 12.1 points, 2.6 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game.[13]

National team career

Right after graduating from high school, Grimes was selected to represent the United States at the 2018 FIBA Americas U18 Championship for Men in June 2018 as part of the U18 National Team,[14] where the USA won gold and Grimes was named MVP.[15]

Personal life

Grimes was born on May 8, 2000, to parents Tonja Stelly and Marshall Grimes. His older maternal half-brother, Tyler Myers, is a professional ice hockey defenceman for the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League. The two brothers would never live together, due to Myers's move to Canada with his father just after Grimes's birth. If Grimes becomes a professional basketball player, they will become the first pair of brothers to play in both the NBA and NHL.[16]

Off the court, Grimes has volunteered with the Houston-based nonprofit, Play With Purpose, which works with at-risk young people in the area.[17]
