One of the best overall players in the league – Kevin Durant. He is 6’10 and moves like a two guard, but he has the size to take you inside as well. Durant can shoot the ball from all around the court as he has incredible range for a guy his size. He is very athletic and lengthy which makes him virtually impossible to stop. You can try to contain a guy like Durant, but you certainly can’t stop him. The superstar was going for his fourth consecutive scoring title but fell short by under a point to Carmelo Anthony. He is one of the league’s deadly scorers and loves to make buckets when they count most. Expect a second straight finals appearance for the young prodigy.
