he will average close to 30 ppgs for a looong time!
5-7 rbs and about 3-5 asts IMO.


I think what will seperate Durant from other stars will be if he can work on his defensive game. At his size, agility and arm length, he has the potential to be simliar to tayshaun prince or better on the defensive side of the ball.

I would love to see him become a solid defensive player along with already being an offensive beast!

We will have a much better read on this next season.

I say that because Duran'ts rookie season is very comparable with someone like Lebron.

But it's Lebron's 2nd season where he basically became a star.


Durant could be the next big thing or he could be the next Rashard Lewis.

He's nowhere near the athlete T-Mac was.

McGrady isn't anywhere near as long or tall as Durant. Durant barely has to get off the ground when he dunks the ball. His standing reach is 9 feet 2 inches. That's 4 inches longer than Joakim Noah's standing reach.

I think it's a bad comparison. They don't have the same length or athleticism.

McGrady is the superior athlete and Durant has the superior length.


Durant has the frame of a Rashard Lewis but obviously he has more potential.


He's a unique guy. People are obsessed with comparing players with other players, but some players are just unique

:rofl: He is already Rashard Lewis.


Not with that 3 point shot. Durant has more potential, but Rashard was (and still is) such an effective player on offense.
