8. Serge Ibaka
Serge Ibaka #9 of the Oklahoma City Thunder
Trending
Ibaka was born in Congo, but is a Spainish national. He’s one of the league’s best defensive power forwards. Ibaka is a ferocious rebounder and shot-blocker. The heavily muscled Spaniard’s physicality has served him well as a defender. He’s the anchor in the Oklahoma City Thunder which features explosive offensive talents like Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
Ibaka averaged a career high of 13.2 PPG and 8 RPG last season with 3 BPG. An efficient shooter, Ibaka shot at .573 last season. He’s also good for an occasional 3 pointer, as the 6’10″ forward averaged .351 from beyond the arc during the 2012-13 season.
