OKC Thunder: Player Grades in Blowout Loss to Warriors

Small Forward. OKC Thunder. JERAMI GRANT. A+. Look this rating has nothing to do with Grant’s overall play on the court. If you can provide Thunder fans with a highlight like the one posted below, you deserve an A+. Looking at Grant’s game overall isn’t as bad as the box score may indicate. Jerami is almost as bad as Andre Roberson at shooting, so he has to cut bacl on the number of jump shots he takes. On the defensive end he got burned by KD a few times, but that happens when you have to guard the best scorer in the world. Golden State’s transition defense was fantastic, so Grant’s athleticism wasn’t able to flourish in the open court. Once he actually gets to practice with the team though, Jerami is going to be deadly. Especially when he gets to run with Russ.
