Two up and coming players who have really bursted onto the scene this year (some would argue Durant's presence last year, though I would argue he was hardly the beast he is now). When comparing them, the age would be somewhat of an issue, but granger seems to have a more complete body and is more clutch (by my estimation). I would say Durant has been playing out of his mind the last 10-20 games compared to Granger. Granger is an all-star though, and perhaps his best is yet to come. He's a better free throw shooter and shot blocker than Durant, but Durant has a better 3pt% and rebound rate. Granger's PER is higher. The matchup is very close. What do you guys think?

atm id probably take granger, id say hes a more mature player. but durants ceiling is alot higher he could be superstar level

As much I love Granger, I'd have to say Durant. Dude is beasting and hes only 20, hes definately gonna go down as one of the greatest scorers ever.

[Gunnin4HoLeS]

I would take DURANT in a minute..more versatile on the wing,...besides that they are very similar

Durant. Now, next year, whenever.

Granger, only thing that worries me is his knees. Granger has street hunger, kevin durant just looks hungry.

see the maturity of granger makes me take him now. but I'm also not ruling out grangers ability to improve. his prime is in like 4 years, and maybe his ceiling isn't as far off from durants as we think. granger could turn into a tmac type player, especially if he improves his leadership and passing.

This. The only time Granger was better was during the first half of last season when KD sucked.
