Projected role in 2026-27
Grodin is one of Penn State's more developmental projects and will be seen as providing depth to the backourt options at Mike Rhoades' disposal. Still, given his similarities with several other bench options, it wouldn't be a surprises if Grodin were given a chance in certain situations to be both a playmaker and elite perimeter shooter. He also has the size to adapt to the Big Ten if needed and most importantly, can learn from the more experienced players on the roster.
Random fact
Grodin went to the same high school as Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell.
