Dame has more range for sure, and a quicker shot I think

Hard to compete with KD's super high release, and he can pull up with the best of them

Think I'd go KD

Im taking Dame, as I think he has more range and he’s a better self creator from 3. A decent amount less of his 3s come off of a teammate assist compared to Durant.

Strictly 3's then it's Dame but all shooting is comfortably Durant.

Isn't this basically just a function of one being a point guard and one not? Granted Dame is probably a better pull-up shooter but it's not like KD doesn't have that in his game

Dame is the better shooter but it's easier for KD to get a good shot off.
