Durant's Got a Jumper, Anything Else?

I am starting to see how excited people are about this guy Kevin Durant on the Seattle Sonics. He's got length, he's got deceptive quickness (or slow quickness), and he's lightning quick to shoot the ball. His shot isn't too pretty, but he has some touch from 22 feet.

As long as he's making his jump shots, which he did tonight against the Phoenix Suns, he's going to continue to stand behind the arc waiting for someone to swing it to him. When he feels giddy, then he goes and gets the ball, but he can't keep it up that energy level. Shaq works harder on offense than KD.

This is why his lack of athleticism will haunt him. He doesn't have the stamina or strength to be a motion guy yet. In a couple years, maybe he'll be great. He's got the jumper. There's hope.

By the way, there's no "Kevin Durant" keyword on Yardbarker yet.
