Kevin Durant
Strengths: Incredible scorer. Can score inside and out with range well beyond the arc. Might get a solid mix of stocks. Rebounding is above average. Good quickness for his size.
Weaknesses: While he has the tools to be a good defender when he wants to, it's not the focus of his game, thus his positional defense suffers a bit. Needs the ball in his hands, so might turn it over a bit. Needs to hit the weights.
Scout's Take: The other contender for the #1 pick, Kevin Durant is a truly special offensive talent. His combination of size and talent makes him a nightmare to guard and scouts feel he has quite a few scoring titles in his future. He isn't exactly one-dimensional, but the development of his defensive side is up in the air. Either way, he is going to be an absolute terror for many seasons.
