The Oklahoma City Thunder took a low-risk, high-reward chance on Jerami Grant when acquiring him in November of 2016. Grant was in his third season out of Syracuse and was averaging eight points and three rebounds through Philadelphia’s first two games of the season.
The versatile forward went on to play in 78 games for Oklahoma City the rest of the way, compiling averages of five points and three rebounds on 47% shooting.
The following season, the 23-year-old, former 39th overall pick continued to show his athletic longevity, playing in 81 of the Thunders 82 games, logging 20 minutes a night.
