I wish Beasley would read this article and take it to heart.....

Since his rookie season, Durant's improvement has been both steady and drastic, but it boils down to two related factors: His shot selection is better, and his field goal percentage has increased everywhere. I spoke with Durant last week and asked him how his approach to the game had changed since his rookie year. He told me the key difference is "knowing where the best shots are and knowing where my spots are." This knowledge has made him a much smarter shooter. "When I was a rookie I was shooting lots of contested 3s, coming off curls shooting with two hands in my face. I think I've learned what are really good shots and the easiest ways to get points. I'm always looking for the easy points."

He's also overcome the temptation to take the first possible shot available to him during a possession, a development that likely explains why he's shooting fewer midrange shots this season. "I give up good shots in favor of great shots," he told me. "I've been mixing it up in different ways. If I don't go to [my midrange shot], that means I'm scoring well from other places on the floor."

...in 2010-11 Durant was a 23/50/27 guy — meaning 23 percent of his shots were close-range shots, 50 percent were midrange shots, and 27 percent were 3-point shots. This season he's a 34/41/25 player. He's given up good shots in favor of great ones.

If he was more confident he lead the league in ppg on good percentages.
