Kanter scored 16 points (5-6 FG, 6-6 FT) and grabbed seven rebounds over 17 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Grizzlies.
With an average of eight rebounds over 20.5 minutes per game this season, Kanter has been one of the league’s more efficient glass cleaners, but it’s yet to translate in a dramatic rise in playing time. In fact, even with the Thunder in need of some contributors to step up in the absence of Kevin Durant (hamstring), Kanter has seen less than 20 minutes in each of the three games Durant has missed thus far. It’s clear that Kanter is still in need of some improvement with his defensive positioning, which may continue to result in him seeing a static role behind starting center Steven Adams.
