Thunder Sign Grant Jerrett

The Thunder have signed Grant Jerrett for the remainder of the season, writes Darnell Mayberry of The Oklahoman.  The club has confirmed the signing via press release.

Jerrett, the 40th overall pick in last year’s draft, has played the entire season in the NBA Development League with OKC’s affiliate, the Tulsa 66ers.  In 27 games with the 66ers, Jerrett has averaged 15.1 points and 6.1 rebounds in 29.3 minutes.  The 6-foot-10 power forward has shown some solid range with his shot and has hit 36.4 percent of his 3-pointers this season.  The deal means that Jerrett will finish out the regular season with the Thunder and will also be with the club during the playoffs.

Mayberry notes that the Thunder have made similar late-season additions with Robert Vaden, a 2010 second-round pick who was signed in April 2011, and Mustafa Shakur in March 2010.  While neither player saw minutes during those deals, the Thunder gave Shakur a 10-day deal earlier this year and gave him a bit of playing time.
