VIDEO: 76ers' Grant surprises Boogie with sky-high swat

Bill Streicher / USA TODAY Sports

Philadelphia 76ers small forward Jerami Grant is not supposed to be this good at erasing shot attempts. The lanky 6-foot-8 small forward is the only non-power forward or center in the league ranking in the top 15 in blocks.

True to form, the second-year wing reminded Sacramento Kings big man DeMarcus Cousins how he has been able to rack up 1.6 blocks per game (heading into Wednesday's match).

Jerami Grant blockin' Boogie

Cousins - who is currently 18th among the Association's top rim-protectors - appears frustrated about the play.

In his defense, Boogie may have a case here, as it seems Grant used Cousins' back to soften his landing.

Grant finished the game with five blocks which increased his average to 1.7 per game.
