Terrance Ferguson
Thrust into the starting rotation when Andre Roberson failed to make it back from injury Terrance Ferguson showed signs of growth. His best attributes were his ability to function in collaboration with Paul George on defense. And, while Ferguson improved on the perimeter his inability to create his own shot remained a harbinger of the offensive scheme.
Playing alongside George and Westbrook helped but if he joins the reserve unit this season he’ll need to showcase growth in his ball handling, playmaking and versatility offensively.
While it wasn’t his best statistical game of the season, I’m going to have to choose this home game vs the Blazers as Ferguson’s best game. Not only was he efficient on offense, but he was also playing great defense on CJ McCollum throughout the game.
