gold star for USAHOF

32. Enes Kanter

32. Enes Kanter
No, this isn’t a misprint.

Enes Kanter would play 180 Games for the Oklahoma City Thunder, and he was never close to being an All-Star but the Turkish Center has put out the most efficient production of his career while playing in OKC.  Kanter’s PERin OKC was 24.1 with a True Shooting Percentage of .612. Also a solid rebounder, Kanter would lead the NBA in 2015/16 in Offensive Rebound Percentage.  Kanter was not a starter but the home he found in Oklahoma fits his play perfectly.
