Oklahoma City Thunder forward Darius Bazley practiced at center on Saturday.
The Thunder are preparing Bazley for a possible backup center role after Nerlens Noel missed Saturday's practice with an ankle injury. "He could be so unique, if you went to a small lineup you could play him at center," said head coach Billy Donovan when asked about Bazley's potential. "He’s capable and has that kind of ability."
According to Rotogrinders' IQ in 582 minutes with Noel off the court, Bazley is averaging 0.71 FanDuel points per minute and a usage rate of 13.5%.
