OKC Thunder: Terrance Ferguson season and contract grades
Season highlights.
There were not a great many highlights for Ferguson this season. The defense that he played at the start of the season was certainly something to be proud of. He took on some of the best players in the league and helped the OKC Thunder to unexpected wins.
However, the season highlight which stands out most in the minds of the Thunder faithful was the season-high 19 points he shot in the game against the Philadelphia 76ers back in the middle of November.
Ferguson seemingly could not miss, going 7-of-9 from the floor and an incredible 5-of-7 from deep. He also collected two rebounds and a steal. He was the difference on the night against a top Eastern team. He was plus +nine on the game where the Thunder won by only eight.
CONFIRMED: Terrance Ferguson is FEELING it from downtown! 😎

No. 23 drains another one from beyond the arc and sends the 76ers into a timeout! 👏#ThunderUp | @okcthunder pic.twitter.com/t7iwxdSVk5
This win came on the back of one of the biggest losses the OKC Thunder suffered all season. They lost to the Indiana Pacers in Indiana by 26 points on a night where Ferguson was not available.
When Ferguson was asked why he thought he had played so well, his answer was incredible. It was his daughter’s first home game and Ferguson was so excited about that. His daughter is his world, and that is the greatest highlight anyone can have.
