Remember, Durant is a very good basketball player. He was playing with unmentionably bad people in Seattle this year and still put up numbers better than any 19 year old. Now you put him next to a great playmaker like Hill, a great passer like Sabonis, and a guy like Kemp who needs to be kept in check by multiple defenders, and I like what I see. (BTW, what I see is open looks for Durant and some easy dunks).
Oh and then I get him when he's studly at 24. Ahhhhh sweetness.
Edit- Think about it like this, would Kobe be as great as he was at 19 if he wasn't playing alongside Shaq on a championship caliber team?
