Re: Durant WILL be a beast
Agreed. A lot of hate for Durant on these forums, though recently he has been lighting it up. Pretty much every game he is shooting 50% now. He probably had a talk with his coach, who told him to calm down on offense and take good looks and not force it.
Re: Durant WILL be a beast
i think the main thing people have to remember is hes 19 years old... give him 2-3 years and he'll be doing some amazing things
Re: Durant WILL be a beast
yea but the sonics will still miss the playoffs in the next 3 or 4 years to come, unless they make BIG changes in their roster and coaching staff, anyways, this kid is amazing, I see him fitting into more of a sf position next year, which will allow him to blossom even more, I don't know why there is so much hate, I see him averaging 25 ppg next year on a 45% shooting.
Re: Durant WILL be a beast
hes going to be really good....if he balks up this summer...and kick up that FG pct...hes going to be a star in this league!
Re: Durant WILL be a beast
Why move him to SF? If he's quick enough, having him at SG and having a big line-up would benefit the Sonics. Imagine a line-up like this:
PG:6-6'3
SG: Durant
SF: Green
PF: Wilcox
C: Swift

Unless the PG is Deron Williams, Baron Davis or Chauncey Billups, that lineup would suck. What's your point?
Re: Durant WILL be a beast
Right now for the season Durant is at
41.1% from the field, 28.0% on 3's and 87.6% from the line.
Overall that is actually more efficient than Lebron as a rookie who shot
41.7% from the field, 29.0% on 3's and 75.4% from the line.
Not too far away from Carmelo as a rookie either and he shot
42.6% from the field, 32.2% on 3's and 77.7% from the line
Durant also doesn't have an NBA ready body like the others did.
Lebron was 6-7 and 245 pounds already when he was drafted while Carmelo was already 6-6 and 233. Durant is only 215 at 6-9. If Durant can get up to 230 or 235 watch out. Plus just wait until he gets use to NBA range 3's. Combine that with his freakish length for a 2 guard, great scoring touch, athletisism ect. and he could be winning a few scoring titles himself. This kid is already shooting 88% from the foul line and he is only 19 years old. That's impressive.
