The Oklahoma City Thunder have two All-Star caliber players on their roster in Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook but the team's star point guard feels that one of his teammates is also deserving of an individual honor.
According to Erik Horne of the Oklahoman, Westbrook took the time to prop up reserve big man Enes Kanter as one of the top candidates to win the league's Sixth Man of the Year award.
"It's not even a question," said Westbrook, according to Horne.
Kanter, who signed a lucrative contract with Oklahoma City this past summer, has made 44 appearances for the Thunder this season and is averaging 11.6 points and 7.4 rebounds in 20.3 minutes per game.
