Thunder's Enes Kanter: Gets double-double in season opener

Kanter provided 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one steal and one block across 24 minutes in Wednesday's 103-97 win over the 76ers.

Analysis:

Coach Billy Donovan's preference to prioritize defense from his big men will keep Kanter in a bench role, but the Turkish center doesn't often need starter's minutes to churn out double-doubles. In addition to his strong scoring and rebounding totals, Kanter typically shoots well from both the field and the charity stripe, which collectively gives him ample value in every fantasy format.
