Mccaw, Draymond and West missed alot bunnies early on Kd got them. Okc failed to use him there consistently but hes far better creating for others from there as opposed to the perimeter where his handle can still be taken advantage of and his court vision isnt as good, dude has some laser passes from the post. He had that great 2 man game with Ibaka in 14 many from the post. Plus with Steph, Draymond and Iggy they dont need other perimeter creators, Kds by far their best post player and they need to use that more next season
Defensively hopefully he continues to improve. Hes only been performing in this defensive role since the Spurs series hes still new to it. Consistency is the biggest issue but his defensive versatility theoretically could be at an alltime level if he continues to improve
Glad i'm not the only one who knew this.
The Post and Pindowns are the best ways to use KD.
538 Article on his shooting for the 2016 season:
"OK then. Curry’s outlandish outlier-ness from 3-point range is well-documented. That Durant has been nearly as much of an outlier from inside the arc is not as well-known. Curry at least has a few players pushing him on the efficiency front (albeit over far fewer shots); Durant is pretty much all alone."
Teams started face guarding him because of this which allowed this to happen all season:
He's been one of the best post scorers and passers in the league over the past 2 seasons, Kerr needs to take advantage of this.
