OKC Thunder season highlights for Ty Jerome

When Jerome hit the floor for the first time this season, he was everywhere. His stat line was nine points, seven assists, five rebounds, and two steals. Jerome then had two games where he was able to score in double digits.

Jerome then had two separate occasions where he had double-digit games four times in a row. Unfortunately for Jerome and the Thunder,  they only won one game during these two stretches of scoring. Mind you, the Thunder did not win many games in the second half.

What is even more impressive is that Jerome has taken the scoring load on his own shoulders. Jerome had his first career 20-point game where he scored 23 points against the Cleveland Cavaliers at the start of April.

What was even better for Jerome and the Thunder is that he then had a second game where he scored 22 points against the Philadelphia 76ers. He then backed this up again with another 23 point effort in his last game played of the season against the Golden State Warriors.

Jerome has the potential to be a really solid role player for the Thunder in the future. The time that he spent on the court this season is going to help develop him further.
