After hearing Jerami Grant speak on his summer workouts and understanding his role on the team, it’s hard to imagine him not in the running for the Most Improved Player Award next year. As OKC Thunder fans know, he’s already a lock-down defender. So, if he’s able to improve offensively and become a two-way player, OKC could be a contender.
The first thing Grant spoke on during his sit down with Alex Kennedy was his offensive improvement. His shooting touch has come and gone throughout his five-year career, but his 29 percent 3-point shooting last season was his second worst.
