KEVIN DURANT: Not Bad for a Rookie
2 games into the season and rookie phenom Kevin Durant of the Sonics has proven why he’s the best in the crop, and even making a case why he should have gone #1. On Thursday, Durant dropped 27 on the Suns. On Wednesday, 18 against the Nuggets. Sure they lost both games, but then again the undermanned Sonics were going against 2 of the top teams in the West. Kudos to the rook. The Sonics now need to concentrate on taking the next step. The missing pieces of the puzzle like surrounding this kid with talent so they can compete for years to come. I like Wilcox but I gotta be honest with you, they need a lot of help. The point guard positions is average at best with Delonte West, Earl Watson and and Luke Ridnour. This team needs a couple of vets to give this team some street cred. Until then, it’s 1st round playoffs and out, at best. Keep it up Durant, rookie of the year is yours to lose.

Wow The Suns are a top team, the Hawks must be better then. The Nuggets sure played great against the Celts tonight!!! Boy oh boy, your evaluations suck.

What the hell does this mean? The whole team is built around vets. Durant, Green and Sene are the only young guys. The problem is the vets are all mediocre at best and they have no true second scoring option after Durant.
