5. Serge Ibaka
Technically, Serge Ibaka is not a role player. He is a part of the big 3 of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, but when you take a look at some of the Thunder box scores he is on the outside looking in at the dynamic duo. Ibaka is a key to OKC’s success in the playoffs and if they have any hopes of advancing to the next round, he will need to make his presence felt against the bullies in the paint for Memphis Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol.

Ibaka finished Game 3 with 15 points on 6-12 shooting, but Durant and Westbrook will need to get him more involved on the offensive end to have a chance. Westbrook and Durant both shot 28 shots a piece!
