Terrance Ferguson 2017/18 season lows

I wish this section was more difficult to write, Alas rookie years generally don’t occur akin to Donovan Mitchell or Jayson Tatum‘s. Such was the case for Terrance Ferguson.

His aforementioned 24 point outburst may have been his season high, but it also triggered disappointment for the performances to follow.

After his 9 of 12 shooting performance, he drew another start and fired another 12 attempts. This time he only connected on four. In spite of this, he drew another start – shooting:

  • 1 of 5
  • Then 0-2
  • 1-7
  • 1-3
  • 1-2
  • and 1-5.

As quickly as the hope of a solid bench scorer came, it went away.

His starting role was of course, taken away from him even with Andre Roberson officially down for the count. Josh Huestis drew the starts until the acquisition of Corey Brewer. By then, T-Ferg was officially buried.

The rookie only drew 6.5 minutes in the playoffs, gaining little useful, on-court experience.
