149. <ul> <li>Three seasons with Thunder (2015-17)</li> <li>2,556 points scored</li> </ul>. Center. . Enes Kanter. 8. player

The next player played the least number of games on this list for the Thunder, and it isn’t close.

Enes Kanter only appeared in 180 games over two-plus seasons in Oklahoma City after arriving prior to the trade deadline from Utah in 2015. His Thunder tenure came to an end in the summer of 2017 after he was shipped to the New York Knicks, along with Doug McDermott and a second-round draft pick in exchange for Carmelo Anthony.

Kanter has always been known as an all-offense, limited-defense center, and is anything but a  rim-protector — at least as far as 6′-11″ centers go. After the mid-season trade, Kanter started all 26 games for the Thunder, averaging 18.7 points in 31.1 minutes per game.

During the 2015-16 campaign, however, Kanter came off the bench for all but one game and played just 21 minutes per contest. He still scored the rock, averaging 12.7 points per game with a 58.3 Effective Field Goal Percentage.

His final year in Oklahoma City was eerily similar, although his scoring ticked upwards just a bit as he continued to be a key bench cog for another Thunder playoff team.
