Thunder Bench Power Rankings

Bench players. They aren’t the best players on your team or the most important, but through a grueling NBA season, you need them. This is a ranking of the 10 Thunder players who start the game sitting on the pine.

Criteria

Each player receives two grades. The first grade is on a scale of 1-10 for their performance on the court. It is important to remember that this scale is for bench players. In other words, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant would be around a 15 out of 10 on this scale. So don’t freak out when a player seems to receive a grade that seems extra high.

The second grade is on a scale of 1-5 for their entertainment value off the court. Not all bench players receive significant time on the floor, so we’ll also examine them while they are off it.

Since their play on the court is more valuable than simply just being entertaining off it, in the event of a tie, the player with the higher on-court rating will be placed higher in the rankings.
