Kevin Durant Starter/Star [1.1] 38.9 High [1.2] 27.7 6.8 2.7 2.1 103.49 At just 22, Durant carried Oklahoma City’s offense with surgical precision, pouring in 27.7 points per game while stretching defenses to their breaking point. His blend of high-release jumpers, fluid drives, and elite free-throw volume (8.7 attempts per game) made him one of the league’s most unguardable scorers. Defenses tilted coverage his way nightly, yet he still finished fifth in MVP voting, validating his ascent from scoring prodigy to full-fledged franchise anchor during the 2010–11 regular season.

Russell Westbrook Starter/Star [1.1] 34.7 High [1.2] 21.9 4.6 8.2 2.3 97.05 Westbrook’s third season marked his evolution into an All-NBA point guard. He attacked gaps with violent acceleration, collapsing defenses and generating 8.2 assists per night while still scoring nearly 22 per game. His mid-range pull-up became a weapon off high screens, and his rebounding from the guard spot fueled Oklahoma City’s transition game. The raw athleticism was obvious; the growing command of tempo was what elevated him to Second Team All-NBA status in 2011. All-Star (2011), All-NBA Second Team (2011)
Jeff Green Starter/Star [1.1] 37.0 Medium [1.1] 15.2 5.6 1.8 1.2 57.08 Before being traded midseason, Green logged heavy minutes as a combo forward, spacing the floor and defending multiple positions. His 15.2 points per game came largely from face-up drives and spot-up threes, though his streaky shooting limited efficiency. Still, his versatility allowed Oklahoma City to toggle between small and traditional lineups during the first half of the 2010–11 campaign.  
Serge Ibaka Starter/Star [1.1] 27.0 Medium [1.1] 9.9 7.6 0.3 2.8 49.08 Ibaka’s defensive presence became foundational. Averaging 2.4 blocks per game, he routinely erased mistakes at the rim with explosive second jumps and precise timing. Offensively, he kept things simple—baseline jumpers and opportunistic finishes—but his shot-blocking surge vaulted him into the Defensive Player of the Year conversation, where he finished 14th in 2011 voting.

James Harden Key Contributor [1.05] 26.7 Medium [1.1] 12.2 3.1 2.1 1.4 43.42 Harden thrived as Oklahoma City’s sixth man in waiting, blending craft with efficiency. He drilled 34.9% from three and consistently got to the line, leveraging hesitations and strength to manufacture contact. Though not yet the heliocentric force he would become, his secondary playmaking steadied bench units and hinted at his future stardom, earning consideration in Sixth Man of the Year voting.

Thabo Sefolosha Starter/Star [1.1] 25.9 Low [1.0] 5.1 4.4 1.4 1.7 27.90 Sefolosha’s value rarely showed in box scores, but his defensive assignments told the story. Tasked with guarding elite wings, he used length and anticipation to disrupt passing lanes and generate 1.2 steals per game. Offensively low-usage, he spaced from the corners and cut opportunistically, prioritizing defensive integrity over volume scoring. DPOY Voting – 21st (2011)
Kendrick Perkins Starter/Star [1.1] 25.2 Low [1.0] 5.1 7.9 0.9 1.3 26.84 Acquired midseason to fortify the paint, Perkins brought physical edge and postseason pedigree. His scoring was limited, but his rebounding presence and interior defense stabilized Oklahoma City’s front line, particularly against power post scorers. The offense ran elsewhere; his job was to anchor and enforce.

Nenad Krstić Starter/Star [1.1] 21.7 Low [1.0] 7.6 4.4 0.4 0.8 29.92 Krstić provided early-season frontcourt scoring with soft touch in the mid-post and reliable interior finishing. His 49.8% shooting offered efficiency, but defensive limitations and roster reshuffling ultimately shortened his Oklahoma City tenure.  
Nazr Mohammed Bench [1.0] 17.9 Low [1.0] 6.9 4.8 0.3 1.1 26.20 Mohammed delivered steady backup center minutes, scoring efficiently (57.3% FG) on short rolls and dump-offs. His rebounding and willingness to contest inside gave the Thunder dependable depth behind Perkins.

Daequan Cook Bench [1.0] 13.9 Low [1.0] 5.6 1.7 0.5 0.3 16.20 Cook carved out a niche as a floor-spacing specialist, hitting 42.2% from three. Almost all of his value stemmed from gravity beyond the arc, forcing closeouts that opened driving lanes for Oklahoma City’s primary creators.  
D.J. White Bench [1.0] 9.5 Low [1.0] 2.8 2.3 0.2 0.6 11.80 White supplied limited reserve minutes, focusing on interior hustle and short-range finishes without commanding touches.

Byron Mullens Bench [1.0] 6.5 Low [1.0] 1.9 1.8 0.0 0.4 8.20 Mullens functioned as a deep-bench stretch prospect, flashing perimeter skill but in a tightly limited role.  
Royal Ivey Bench [1.0] 6.2 Low [1.0] 1.6 0.6 0.3 0.2 5.40 Ivey’s minutes centered on defensive pressure and backcourt depth, rarely featuring offensive involvement.

Defenses loaded up on his right hand and crowded his airspace, yet his high-release jumper and slithery drives still produced elite free-throw volume (9.8 attempts per game). His rebounding jumped to 8.2 per game, reflecting a willingness to finish possessions, not just initiate them. In tight games, the Thunder cleared a side and let him operate—his blend of length and touch dictating tempo even when efficiency wavered.  
Russell Westbrook Starter/Star [1.1] 37.5 High [1.2] 23.8 5.4 6.4 1.8 98.84 Westbrook’s postseason was combustible and relentless. He averaged 23.8 points and 6.4 assists, attacking seams before help could rotate. The jumper ran cold at times (39.4% FG), but his rim pressure bent defensive structures and created second-side opportunities. He rebounded aggressively for a point guard and never ceded pace, even against disciplined playoff defenses. The Thunder lived with the volatility because the pressure he applied was constant and often overwhelming.  
James Harden Key Contributor [1.05] 31.6 Medium [1.1] 13.0 5.4 3.6 2.0 55.90 Harden functioned as Oklahoma City’s postseason stabilizer off the bench, closing many games despite not starting. He shot 47.5% from the field and a blistering 68.3% on two-pointers, using hesitations and strength to carve out angles in the lane. His 3.6 assists per game underscored his secondary playmaking value, while his rebounding from the guard spot added lineup flexibility. In a series that demanded poise, Harden often looked like the calmest player on the floor.  
Serge Ibaka Starter/Star [1.1] 28.8 Medium [1.1] 9.8 7.3 0.2 3.3 49.61 Ibaka’s defensive imprint was unmistakable.

Kendrick Perkins Starter/Star [1.1] 28.2 Low [1.0] 4.5 6.1 0.8 1.0 27.28 Perkins anchored the interior with physicality rather than flair. His scoring was minimal, but his screens freed Oklahoma City’s guards and his post defense absorbed contact without surrendering deep position. The stat line understates the tone-setting edge he provided against playoff frontcourts.  
Thabo Sefolosha Starter/Star [1.1] 20.2 Low [1.0] 4.6 3.1 0.7 1.2 21.03 Sefolosha’s assignment rarely showed up in headlines: chase elite scorers, contest without fouling, and keep spacing honest. His offensive volume was sparse, but his cuts and transition finishes complemented the stars. Defensively, his length disrupted passing lanes and forced uncomfortable releases.  
Eric Maynor Bench [1.0] 12.9 Low [1.0] 4.8 1.3 2.2 0.5 17.60 Maynor orchestrated bench possessions with patience, averaging 2.2 assists in under 13 minutes. While his shooting dipped, his ball security and tempo control prevented second-unit stretches from unraveling.

Royal Ivey Bench [1.0] 3.0 Low [1.0] 3.0 0.5 0.5 0.0 8.00 Ivey’s cameo appearances were brief but efficient, highlighted by limited yet perfect perimeter shooting in extremely small samples.  
Nate Robinson Bench [1.0] 4.0 Low [1.0] 2.7 0.0 0.3 0.0 6.00 Robinson’s postseason minutes were fleeting, deployed as a change-of-pace scorer without sustained rhythm.  
Totals       102.5 45.9 17.6 14.4 448.00 Oklahoma City’s 2011 playoff identity centered on Durant’s scoring gravity and Westbrook’s pace, with Harden’s poised shot creation and Ibaka’s rim protection forming the structural backbone.
