    Default Cp3 or Durant?

    Who is the second best player in the league?

    **Note: This isn't an overreaction. I thought cp3 was close last year as well.

    KD.

    CP3 is close though. CP3 also plays less minutes (usually) though, so his production doesn't seem as impressive. But skillwise, it's really close.

    statwise i agree,
    but impactwise, KD is not even the best on his team,
    goatbrook shooting 40% > KD 65% TS

    cp3 is #1 so far this year. This is more about the better player not who has played better.

    CP when healthy and aggressive is the 2nd best player in the league behind Bron and one of the best PG's to ever play the game. Healthy CP > Durant.

    KD looks committed on defense this year. In the game against Phoenix he was very active no matter who he switched onto. He is already an excellent offensive player, and soon he will become an excellent defensive player. No question KD is better.

    Call me when Chris Paul ever does anything in the playoffs even closely resembling what 23 year old Durant did in 2011.

    The answer is easy to anyone who knows anything about basketball and how to build a team that can win it all.

    The last team to win it all with their PG being their best player was 20+ years ago.

    He looked that committed last year and statistcally was one of the top defenders in the league. Much better than LeBron according to all statistics.

    The main thing is he NEVER says anything about his game or how he has improved unless he's directly asked about it, which it's usually just about how he's improved his offense. And he doesn't constantly have his teammates/coaches talking about his defense like LeBron. If he did his defense would be just as hyped up as LeBrons.

    People in the Media like to talk about how impressive it is with that LeBron can do, but with Durant you have a near 7 footer with a 7'6 wingspan who statistically does a much better jobs on bigs than LeBron does and a better job at guarding SF's and SG's.

    His combination of length/size/quickness makes him an elite defender as long as he's committed which he has been since last year.

    Implying that is the only defensive stat KD did better than LeBron at last year.

    PER allowed, defensive win share %, defensive rating. The three main ones, KD was better than LeBron at all of them. And probably better at any other significant ones you can find as well. The main difference is LeBron has all of his coaches/teammates + himself and the media all campaigning for him to win DPOY while Durant does not.

    KD is better, CP3 has had a better start. It's only 3 games in though. KD will cement himself as the unanimous second best again by half way through the year.
