Four questions for four writers, previewing the upcoming NBA season, which tips off on Tuesday night.

Give me a Thunder-related bold prediction for the season.

Anthony Slater (beat writer) — Enes Kanter will win the Sixth Man. Even in the analytics age, it’s an award traditionally given to the bench player with the best raw numbers. Kanter, as we know, has never had an issue getting his on offense. Lou Williams won it last year averaging 15 points and two assists. The rest of the field projects to be pretty weak. Kanter gobbles points and rebounds. He should average somewhere around 15 and seven. That could win the award.
