Re: Kevin Durant Thread: Help Document his Rookie Year as a Sonic
[QUOTE=marny_navis]Ha looks like a stick. Needs more muscle. #6 for GS is that a girl?[/QUOTE]
KD does need to build his body. As of now he can't even play against the strong guards like Billups or (that Utah big guard) what his name.
#6 For GS is Troy Hudson. Yeah, he's got that predator hair do which i think it's real ugly unless you are that space creature predator with 4 fangs hanging out of your mouth.

hs-- thanks for the photo link
guys naturally gain weight over time (most guys at least). i am not worried about kd's weight right now
Re: Kevin Durant Thread: Help Document his Rookie Year as a Sonic
[QUOTE=RainierBeachPoet]it will be a good experiment to put kd at the 2
in time, he will probably be a better 3 as his body develops and he learns to play nba style defense[/QUOTE]
If Durant is at the 3 where would Green play though? I think the Sonics plan on Green becoming a starter in a year or 2 if not now.
Re: Kevin Durant Thread: Help Document his Rookie Year as a Sonic
I like Green at the 4, but only if Seattle gains some major size at the 5. Also, who would play the two? Maybe a nice outside shooter that Seattle could get in a trade to draw defenses away from KD. Oh yeah.... Ray Allen.

as wilcox declines and green gets some experience, their p-t will probably reflect this

Isn't Wilcox only 27 or something? It will be awhile before he starts to decline.

"that Utah big guard" = Deron Williams.
Re: Kevin Durant Thread: Help Document his Rookie Year as a Sonic
I dont know why the sonic wanted to rebuild. they could have had ridnour,allen,durant,wilcox,swift. Lewis wouldve probably stayed too. with those veterans Kd's rookie season couldve been a little bit better

it was more about blowing the team up so that they WOULD NOT win this year
bennett knew that if the sonics were successful, that the city would rally around them and work to keep them in seattle. so it was to his advantage to rid the team of anyone who had a connection to the past. for example, when lenny was relegated to a "consultant" type role, i knew we were dust
winning was not bennett's goal from the beginning; moving the team was. blowing it up worked toward that goal

Re: Kevin Durant Thread: Help Document his Rookie Year as a Sonic
Don't mean to rain on our Emerald City's Golden boy; but last night game against the Nuggets just proved what I have been saying all along. He is over rated, big mistake from the coaching/management for trying to make him as the go-to guy now. Chucko has some pictures from last night:

He got little guys guarding him all night and he had no clue on what to do even the times he was at low post position. And he went 4 for 17 FG. That's terrible %.
Re: Kevin Durant Thread: Help Document his Rookie Year as a Sonic
Oops sorry Chucko, I mean Chuckarelei.
Back to the Durant; I mean if he went 4-17 with Allen Iverson and Anthony Carter guarding him. That tells you there is something wrong. Right?
Re: Kevin Durant Thread: Help Document his Rookie Year as a Sonic
That really sucks that the Sonics will be relocated next year. I think this franchise have a bright future, and it's been a great job building your team around a 19 yrs.old, who is already proven that he can be a go to guy for this team especially in the 4th quarter.
I think because of Durant's jump shot he might become a more explosive scorer in his prime, and he can definitely create his own shot, that is why if he gained 15-20 lbs it's pretty difficult to stop him from scoring.
He is a legit 6-9, and I think next year he will probably play the SF position, and i expect him to average more than 8 rpg in the regular season because he have a decent height advantage over the opposing team's defender.
Mark my words he would be much better than Tracy Mcgrady in his prime, and he is going to be the rival of Lebron as the next Best Player in the NBA.
