Thunder journal: Blake Griffin a unique challenge for OKC's top-ranked defense
Detroit Pistons star and former Oklahoma standout Blake Griffin leads his team in points (24.9 per game) and assists (5.1) so far this season. [AP PHOTO]The Thunder has the top defense in the NBA partly because it can switch defensive assignments at multiple positions. That means plenty of work for Jerami Grant.
Since the 6-foot-9 Grant can guard every position on the floor, it makes for extra defensive work for the 24-year-old, as well as Steven Adams and Paul George.
"You just gotta watch a lot of film," Grant said. "You gotta know all the players on the court's tendencies, things they like to do.
"Once you get that down, it's pretty much just going out and doing it from there."
