I don't know if many of you have had the time to check out Kevin Durant this year. For those who haven't, he's a 6'8-6'9 Freshman for Texas. While Oden gets all of the hype and will be the #1 pick in next year's NBA Draft, I believe Durant deserves just as much praise.

There is absolutely nothing this kid can't do. He's averaging 24 pts and 10 boards. That was before he dropped 37 pts and 15 rebs on #14 OSU last night. He can beat defenders off the dribble with silky smooth moves, he is lights out from behind the three point line, he can post defenders up and has a perfect right handed half hook, and he can rebound very well.

The last guy I saw this dominant in college basketball was Melo and he has Melo beat. He is better as a freshman than Melo was as a freshman. If Durant was at North Carolina or Duke, he'd be getting covers of magazines right now. Mark it down now, Kevin Durant will not only be a great NBA player, but he will be one of the greatest players in NBA history.
