Who will start at SG for Thunder?

Kevin Martin or Thabo Sefolosha?

Kevin Martin - is a better scorer than Harden or Sefolosha. With Westbrook's playmaking ability, he can find open spots, put the lights out and helping Durant off the scoring load.

Thabo Sefolosha- best one-on-one perimeter defender in the team. Coach Brooks entrusted him guarding Lebron James,Kobe Bryant,Carmelo Anthony,Dwyane Wade,etc.

    Sefolosha. OKC is going to utilize Kevin Martin the same way they used Harden. I don't think Kevin Martin is going to score as much as Harden did. He was used to doing all of the scoring, shooting in bunches, and even as a starter, he didnt score that much more than Harden. Just like Antawn Jamison, when he gets placed as a bench, he won't score that much.

    Plus, he just got traded to OKC with zero training camp, so its chemistry will be somewhat of an issue.

    OKC is not getting the ring this year. Maybe next year Durant!

    Thafo is not that scoring that they need in the starting lineup with Westbrook and Durant so I am pretty sure he will start as shooting guard and Martin will come off the bench to ignite that scoring off the bench kinda like how Harden was.

    A lot of people do not like that trade but I think this might be a blessing in disguise for the Thunders because martin will know that his role is to score which he is able to do and Lamb I think could have a bright future

    It will most likely be Kevin Martin starting at Shooting Guard. And Jeremy Lamb backing him up, while Sefolosha I can see backing up Durant at the Small Forward spot, when they want to be in a smaller lineup. His minutes will be more limited this season as long as Lamb and Martin are healthy, but he will still find time with his defense that he plays very well.

    sefolosha doesnt make sense to start martin then u have no scoring on the bench because they cant have sefolosha come off the bench because he isnt a scorer they will use martin the way they used harden which was very effective for them

    Martin

    Sefolosha will. They'll want Martin's offensive spark off the bench, just as they did with Harden. Also, I wonder if they'll be cautious with Martin given his injury proneness.
