Ranking every bench unit in OKC Thunder history
By Rylan Stiles
No. 2: 2015-2016
This season is met with mixed emotions. During the regular season, the team cruised to a 55-win year under first year head man Billy Donovan.
During the post season, the OKC Thunder downed the Dallas Mavericks in the first round 4-1, and topped the Spurs 4-2 in the second round. In the Western Conference Finals, the OKC Thunder jumped out to a 3-1 series lead over the 73-win Warriors.
Golden State came roaring back and beat the OKC Thunder in seven games. Thunder star Kevin Durant then skipped town and joined the Warriors. However, the bench unit can not be denied as one of the best in OKC Thunder history.
That reserve unit featured Enes Kanter, Dion Waiters, Anthony Morrow, Cameron Payne, and Kyle Singler.
Enes Kanter turned in 12-points per game with 8-rebounds, and played in 81-games that year. His first full year in OKC, and first true year as a reserve he was extremely good, if you ignore the defensive end the same way he does.
Dion Waiters shot 35-percent from three, and Anthony Morrow shot 38-percent from three which helped lift the Thunder bench unit.
