Perfect from field Friday Grandison closed Friday's 92-58 win over Delaware with 10 points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 19 minutes.

Impact Grandison didn't miss a single shot from the field Friday. He has been inconsistent in his first four games, though, putting up two double-digit efforts and two games in which he barely made an impact on offense. The lack of efficiency and the nature of a bench role suggest these inconsistencies might continue, something that would ultimately hurt his upside.

Thrives off bench Friday Grandison racked up 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and three steals over 19 minutes during Friday's 84-38 victory over USC Upstate.

Impact Grandison didn't have a good performance in the season opener, but he bounced back here and made the most of his limited on-court time to record a strong all-around effort. That said, his bench role and the fact he's not expected to see plenty of minutes on a regular basis should limit his upside on a game-to-game basis.

Won't face Indiana Grandison (shoulder) is out for Friday's game against Indiana, Jeremy Werner of 247Sports reports.

Impact Grandison is no longer wearing a sling, indicating progress with his recovery from a shoulder injury, but he's nonetheless not dressed for warmups. With Grandison out for Friday's Big Ten tournament opener Coleman Hawkins and Da'Monte Williams should be primed to handle increased roles.

Impact Little else was revealed about Grandison's status for Friday's Big Ten tournament opener, though coach Brad Underwood did note that he's "getting better." Grandison was considered a game-time call as of three days ago, and this may not be enough of a development to change that notion.

Day-to-day ahead of tournament Illinois head coach Brad Underwood said Monday that Grandison (shoulder) is considered day-to-day in advance of this week's Big Ten tournament, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact The shoulder injury kept Grandison from playing Sunday in Illinois' 74-72 win over Iowa, a victory which coupled with Wisconsin's lost to Nebraska earlier in the day allowed the Fighting Illini to secure the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament. Illinois will return to action in the quarterfinal round Friday, playing the winner of Thursday's Michigan-Indiana matchup.

Coleman Hawkins and Da'Monte Williams should see increased roles against the Hawkeyes, and it's not yet clear whether Grandison will be healthy enough to play in the Illini's first Big Ten Tournament game Friday.
