Corey Brewer arrived in March and almost immediately became a starter. His play was up and down, but his enthusiasm was contagious. Here are the grades on Brewer’s abbreviated season in OKC:
Playing with George: C. Brewer played 433 minutes with Carmelo Anthony, and the Thunder outscored opponents by 55 points during those times. Brewer played 479 minutes alongside Russell Westbrook, and the Thunder outscored foes by 52 points during those times. But Brewer played 435 minutes alongside Paul George, and the Thunder outscored foes by only four points during those times. The Thunder’s four primary players were much better with Andre Roberson, Josh Huestis or Alex Abrines than they were with Brewer.
