 Considering Westbrook sticks with OKC for the SEASON, who will be the second leading scorer for OKC? Will it be Oladipo? Can Kanter play good enough defense to stay on the court long enough to score? Will Adams make a big leap and become a two-way beast?

List your stat predictions for OKC guys!

I think Westbrook is going to go bezerk on the league this season and have a Kobe 2006 year.. torch people for 35+ a night. With that being said I think there will be a congregation of guys outside of him on OKC sitting around the 10-14 ppg area, Kanter, Oladipo, Adams.

 When Durant was out during the 2015 season, kanter put up some huge numbers with around 19 ppg and 11 rpg. Whether he can come close to that again is dependent on playing time, but if he averages upwards of 30 mins a game it’s definitely possible. The kanter-adams frontcourt was effective in last year’s playoffs and I believe that’s the look Donovan will go with to start the season at least with ibaka gone.

 Enes Kanter will be the second leading scorer.. Steven Adams is the Joakim Noah of the Western Conference.. Hea nothing more than a hustle and lunchbox worker type big.. Kanter will have plenty of chances to score

 Dipo is gonna get around 14-16ppg this year but I do think Kanter is gonna put in a solid 18 and 9,

 Dipo will be their second iso option. He will mostly play off of Westbrook but also get iso touches when Russ decides he’s a bit tired which is rare. I’d say 18-ppg 3 or 4 APG for Victor.

 Kanter may outscore Dipo but it maybe hard for him to get his touches from a the o gaurd oriented system. May also not get the playing time he needs because of lack of defensive effort during regular season games.

He has averaged 21.7 ppg per 36 in his time with OKC. He is also aa very good perimeter shooter and should assume the role of floor spacing big with Ibaka gone. The potential is there for him to outscore Oladipo but if I were a betting man I would stay away from these two choices. But my monopoly money would be on Victor Oladipo

 So I have to go w/ Victor — but he’ll be well behind Westbrook who I believe is going to go straight Video Game Stats on the NBA competition

 i also believe that Kanter will be the second scorer of the thunder. for some reason, he just has really good chemistry with westbrook on offense, he catches a lot of his russel’s drive dump offs and puts himself in a position to feed off westbrook really well. and as much as i like oladipo as a two way player, im not even sure if he will be a starter for most of the season.

i really wouldnt put it past the thunder to start kanter due to that good conection with westbrook and have dipo be the guy who will shoulder the offensive load off the bench such as when james harden had that role. i still very much like cameron payne and think they could start him and transition westbrook to the 2 guard the way miami did with wade. people might say he’ll lose his mismatch at the point but he already regularly sees shooting guards on him on deffense anyway.
