Low minutes, occasional defensive lapses and Jamal Crawford’s insane fourth quarter against Utah keBelly’sy’s power ranking at seven this week, but he can consider himself slightly unlucky.

He contributed 9 points and 3 rebounds in the season opener and followed it up with 10 points and 5 rebounds against Utah.

Although he had a quiet game in Oklahoma, he has solidified himself into Thibs’ rotation once again, doing so with a flamethrower on the end of his arm.
