Let's just wait til he plays 1 minute of professional basketball. As it stands now, he shouldn't be put in the same sentence as Stoudemire

I think Portland selects Kevin Durant if they can do it all over again, they won't say it but it's true.
Put Kevin Durant on that same team with Roy and Aldridge and you have your own western version of the Big- Boston 3.
