There aren’t many centers more gifted on the offensive end of the floor than Enes Kanter. He’s a wonderful pick-and-roll dive man who can go to the post or dominate the offensive glass—and he even made 16 3-point field goals in 2014-15.

With Russell Westbrook as his facilitator in 2014-15, Kanter showed just how productive he can be.

In 26 games with the Thunder, Kanter averaged 18.7 points and 11.0 rebounds in 31.1 minutes of action per game. That includes an insane 5.0 offensive rebounds per contest and an extremely efficient field goal percentage of .566.

Also a near 80 percent free throw shooter, Kanter is a dream asset on the offensive end of the floor.

Defensively, the exact opposite can be said about the Turkish big man. He allowed opponents to shoot 56.9 percent when he met them at the rim, per NBA.com, and he’s as bad as that atrocious number suggests.

Having Serge Ibaka as his help-side complement is a blessing, but Kanter needs to improve defensively in order to move up this list.
