Kevin Durant The Next Tracy McGrady

     Tracy McGrady and Kevin Durant have always been compared. Critics are starting to compare them because of the playoffs and their scoring titles. Tracy McGrady won 2 scoring tittles and they starting saying he was the best in the NBA. He never got out of the first round and I don't think he played bad in the playoffs. He almost averaged a triple double, he scored like 29 points a game. The stats are on NBA.com if you want to look at the stats. But Kevim Durant struggled shooting terrible from the feild. If the Thunder get out of the first round this year, I say the Thunder is why they got out of the first round because Kevin has a way better team than T-mac did.

     I think they are very similar players becuase they score just the same, and are both tall and lanky. People told Kevin when he was in high school that he played just like T-mac. T-mac abd Kevin Durant get scouting reports like this.

“Simply dominant, the type of player who can put up big numbers even when his man is playing outstanding defense. Gets a third of his offense from pick and roll situations where he can simply dribble off and pull up, with another quarter coming from isolations.

Impressive jump shot, gets incredible elevation and can shoot off balance with little trouble, particularly from mid-range range. Not very effective from beyond the arc, but still attempts quite a few shots from there.

Operates as a bit of a point forward. Great one-on-one skills. Excellent hesitation moves and use of ball fakes. Plays the game at many different speeds. Effective crossover. Hard to stop off the dribble. Outstanding ball-handler at his size. Prefers to go left and go to the rim where he can finish explosively with either hand.

Can get by his man when he faces up in the post. Great catch and shoot player. Doesn’t get a lot of transition opportunities. Gets to the line at a good rate, but needs to improve his consistency.

 Tracy also is better in close tight situations, like 13 points in 30 seconds. Kevin has had one game winner this season, and it was verse the Knicks. I was at the game and have to admit it was very impressive. Kevin takes horrible game winners, like I remember one verse the Grizzles he just took the stupidest shot. Also they both have the same work ethic.
