CLEVELAND, Ohio — Cavs guard Ty Jerome scores 20 points more often (11 times this season) than nine-time All-Star Russell Westbrook. He scores more efficiently (59.4% effective field goal percentage) than LeBron James and Stephen Curry.
Jerome has never scored this much, or this efficiently, or played a role this relevant over his six-year career. But according to gambling websites, Cleveland’s best development story has zero chance to win Most Improved Player. Can’t even find his name on the odds list.
