Oklahoma City Thunder: 3 players that the Thunder need to keep for the 19-20 season

#2 Jerami Grant

Jerami Grant enjoyed a career-season for the Thunder

Jerami Grant signed a three-year, $27 million contract back in June of 2018, and he has proved that he is worth every penny over the past 12 months. Due to the departure of Carmelo Anthony, Grant was promoted to Billy Donovan's starting five, and over 80 appearances, the 25-year-old averaged career highs in points (13.6), rebounds (5.2) and blocks (1.3).

Grant was also the Thunder's most accurate shooter from beyond the arc (39%), and his impact at both ends of the court was felt on a nightly basis. After taking such a leap forward over the past 12 months, there is also a general feeling that the former Sixers man will continue to develop.

Grant's name has been regularly mentioned in trade rumors, although unless the Thunder can land an elusive third All-Star, a potential deal makes little sense.
