Jerami Grant, The Finisher

If there’s one number that clearly illustrates why Jerami Grant has become one of the Thunder’s most effective and efficient players, it’s this one: in 2015-16 with Philadelphia, Grant shot 47.7 percent on two-point field goals. Two seasons later, in 2017-18 with the Thunder, that number skyrocketed to 61.3 percent.

Over the past two years, with the help of the coaching staff in Oklahoma City, Grant has transformed himself from a lanky wing with some versatility into a focused, useful player with two clearly defined roles. In the same game, Grant slices through the lane as a roll man, finishing with dexterity around the rim as the team’s backup center, then in another moment serves as a perimeter-oriented forward, switching out to the top of the key to defend a guard.
