Wimmer is a skilled, left handed guard with a high basketball IQ and the ability to score at all three levels. A reliable perimeter shot maker with range, he can knock down shots off the catch or create his own offense off the dribble. Wimmer is comfortable with the ball in his hands, makes good decisions and has the versatility to serve as a secondary ball handler. His combination of offensive skills, court awareness and scoring ability makes him a valuable backcourt prospect who should have a productive freshman season.

can flat-out score it and very efficiently; he is a lights-out shooter and will be a very pivotal piece for Trinity this season. I’ve seen Grant play a handful of times now, and each time he seems to appear like a guard who has tons of experience, but he’s only a freshman. Richmond seems to breed sharpshooters, and Grant just might be the next best shooter in his class. Although he’s a great shooter, he does an excellent job reading ball screens and creating for himself or for others. He changes pace well and has a tight handle that gives him easy opportunities to make things happen. He will be among the top guards regardless of class in the Virginia Prep League at Trinity this season.

Another piece to a deep young TES backcourt that will be thrown right into the fire this year, Wimmer impressed with his polished skillset and tough-nosed approach against a bigger, older, and more athletic Mt. Zion Prep (MD) lineup. Wimmer is quick and crafty as both a primary and secondary handler, with a tight handle and a willingness to take appropriate chances with the ball as a playmaker. With a slight frame, Wimmer may need time to add strength as he ages but even so the southpaw looks ready to contribute right away for the feisty young Titans.

It didn’t take long to see Wimmer was on another level than most yesterday and it was based off his ability to read the game with or without the ball. The 5-foot-11 southpaw guard can tee off from the corners when left open, but is just as effective attacking closeouts and quickly processing the rotating defense to make the right read. On several occasions whether it came on straight-line drives or in transition, Wimmer used perfectly timed step-throughs as defenders knifed in to attempt to strip the ball away. He maintained balance and control on those drives and finished consistently.
Wimmer made several extra passes that turned a good shot into a great one for his team as they went on to win both 5v5 contests in dominant fashion.
