Veteran F/C Etan Thomas has been buried on the bench this season through no fault of his own. It’s just that the Thunder don’t have any minutes available for him behind Jeff Green, Nenad Krstic, Serge Ibaka and Nick Collison. I know that it’s no consolation to Thomas himself to hear that he is valuable depth for the Thunder as he wants to play. The trading deadline is coming up so maybe the Thunder will move Thomas. He has played in 17 games (1 start) for the Thunder this season and he is averaging 16.1 minutes, 3.8 points and 3.4 rebounds per game.
