Since Andre Roberson never returned from injury, Ferguson was entrusted with the shooting guard role all season long. His minutes spiked from 12.5 last year to 26.1 per game this year as the franchise opted to not acquire any wing depth at the trade deadline and make do with what they had.

In his sophomore year, Ferguson averaged less than 7 points per game and shot an ordinary 36% from beyond the arc. Clearly, he wasn't the answer to OKC's wing issues but continued to play extended minutes and established himself for a permanent starter role.

Despite starting in 74 games this season, the 20-year-old took less than 4 shots from the distance and could only improve to 1.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game.

Thrown into an unexpected role, this might well have been a golden chance for Ferguson before Roberson gets healthy or the organisation plans to acquire a reliable wing via trade or free agency.
