Durant Battling High Turnover Percentage 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat Mar 23, 2013 1:25 am

Kevin Durant has committed a turnover in 16.3 percent of his possessions this month, which is the worst mark of his career.


“He's trying to make the right pass. It's just that we have to be able to execute it much better,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. “He's going to find his way through it. I just like the fact that he's trying to make those passes and trying to help his teammates score. But we have to definitely do a better job of not turning the ball over. We don't want to do that as a team and guys don't want to do it individually.”

Durant has taken on more of a facilitator role this year in the wake of James Harden's trade to Houston.

“The high turnover guys in the league are some of the best players,” Brooks said “because you have the ball in your hands a lot. And we need the ball in his hands a lot.”
