the hard-nosed Drake guard who turned defense into his calling card
In the 2006-07 season, Nick Grant was one of Drake’s most improved players, starting all 30 games and averaging a career-high 11.9 points while leading the Missouri Valley Conference with 57 steals (1.9 per game); he also ranked among Drake’s all-time steals leaders. Reliable coverage from Drake’s program highlighted his surge late in the season, including a 20-point average over his final three games and multiple career-best scoring nights, which points to a guard who brings toughness, disruptive defense, and timely shot-making.
