Terrance Ferguson played well as a sophomore for the Oklahoma City Thunder. He’ll have to keep up the progression next year and develop his game even more.

The Oklahoma City Thunder needed shooting this year but they didn’t have the cap space to sign any shooters. The OKC Thunder needed somebody to fill in for Andre Roberson so who did they look to? Terrance Ferguson.

Ferguson did not have an impressive rookie season in 2017-18. He only averaged 3.1 points for OKC but he worked really hard in the offseason and developed a better catch and shoot 3-point game.

His work in the offseason paid dividends as he became a better and more reliable shooter from beyond the arc. He along with Jerami Grant gave the OKC Thunder some shooting that they desperately needed.

While Ferguson did not have that breakout year that a former late first round pick needs, this year was a step forward in his development that will hopefully lead to him becoming a valuable role player.

The next step for Ferguson will be if he can shoot off the dribble. This year, though, the Thunder were lucky to find a starting shooting guard in their first-round pick from a year before while Andre Roberson was out.
