His frame is no where near those guys...He will struggle against guys as tall as him and stronger than him in the NBA...

yeah, he's already matured physically, he won't get any bigger. :roll1:

Why don't you look at clips or Jordan or even Shaq in college. they don't look anything like they did in the NBA.

That is what I said wasnt it...

I was meaning as a rookie not as a 10 yr vet...Also I don't see Durant being able to get as big as a guy like James is...

same type of playing styles of those 3 but, another poster posted a Len Bias comparison and I agree with that to. He's just that talented already.

He'll be playing small forward in the NBA so he wouldn't need much weight. Not to many Lebrons playing small forward in the NBA and plus, he's fast as heck with the ball. He'll be a nightmare guarding him

The 3 line is not that as close as it is in college which could cause him to struggle...

I still compare him to McGrady who is a good player, but not one of the real elite in the league...

He has the same body, but doesn't really play the same. I don't think he has the speed and agility of McGrady. And McGrady was a one of the best in the league a few years ago when he was in Orlando.

I am not saying that McGrady isnt very good, but he isnt in the same league as guys like James/Kobe/Dirk/Wade/etc...

But Durant shoots that same flat type shot and is a 6'10' SF just like McGrady...

I agree about not being there now, but a few years ago I think he was. His back problems have gotten even worse since then.
Durant shoots a lot like McGrady but I don't think he can penetrate like McGrady.

Yeah but McGrady does more of his damage with the jumper...

Can't argue with you there. I use to watch him every game when he played for Orlando, and I have never seen anything like him when he is on. If anyone made a three against the Magic, he would come down and pull up form about two or three feet outside of the three point line and answer almost every time.

I agree, whic is what I see from Durant in the NBA...He post up some smaller guys in college and gets some easy put backs, which I don't see happening as much in the NBA...
