In an interview ahead of the Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade game in Round 30 of the EuroLeague 2023-24, the guard talked about his Final Four predictions and his role within a growing Panathinaikos.

"The season has been fantastic so far; every game is important, and all teams are playing to win, no matter where they are," explained Grant. "There will be interest until the end, but I see Real, Panathinaikos, Fenerbahce, and Monaco going to the Final Four," he said, making his predictions.

For himself and the entire Panathinaikos team, it could be said that they are having a season to remember, particularly after not being able to make the playoffs since the 2018-19 season.

"It's nice for me because you don't often get the chance to play in the playoffs," stated Grant. "We have shown our quality so far, but in the next few days, starting with the Crvena Zvezda game, it is an opportunity to show what kind of team we really are.I believe we are ready for the challenge, and we are looking forward to the next games," he said ambitiously.

Grant played and continues to play a huge role in Panathinaikos's surge as they find themselves in the 5th spot ahead of their game against Crvena Zvezda.

"It was all I needed to find a team where the coach and the fans believe in me. I already knew what I could do; I just wanted the right environment to show it," the former EA7 Emporio Armani Milan player said.

"In Athens, I found what I needed. Panathinaikos gave me the opportunity, and as you can see, things are going well for both sides so far," he concluded optimistically.

This season, Grant is averaging 9.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 3.7 assists for 11.3 PIR per game.
