Thunder's Taj Gibson: Will start at power forward Thursday

Gibson will start at power forward for Thursday's game against the Spurs, Erik Horne of The Oklahoman reports.

Analysis:

Coach Billy Donovan noted that he was trying to get a different look, which allows the newly-acquired Gibson to get his first shot at starting with his new team. Gibson has struggled to make an impact offensively with the Thunder in recent games, but with the promotion to the starting five, he could approach 30-plus minutes, which should boost his all-around production. For now, this move appears to be a one-game experiment, but if all goes well, Gibson could jump Domantas Sabonis for the role moving forward.
