DURANT HIGH ON PARKER

With such a renowned freshman class in college basketball, a national debate is likely to begin on which player is the best in the country and, thus, deserving of next year's No. 1 overall draft pick.

In the eyes of Durant, the current frontrunner is Duke forward Jabari Parker, a Chicago native who spent time training under Durant's watch for several years at his annual Nike camp.

“That kid is amazing, man. I think he's the best player in the country,” Durant said. “Him and (Andrew) Wiggins are like 1A and 1B. Those guys, man, I don't want to put the one-and-done thing on them too early. But they're going to do really well in college and lead their teams to, I think, Final Fours.”

Asked if which player he'd select first overall if he was an NBA GM, Durant closed his eyes and covered his face with both hands.

“Man, that's kind of like, close your eyes and just pick one,” he said. “You're good with either one of those guys. So I wouldn't say. I mean, I love Jabari's game. He's so skilled and has it all right now. Wiggins is so physically ... like he's on another level right now. That's God-given ability he has.”

As he spoke about the incoming freshman class, Durant said he sees many of today's up and comers as being better at this stage of their careers than players in years past.

“It's a lot of talented kids coming into this league the next few years,” Durant said. “It's going to be fun to see. All those guys are pretty good. It feels like high school guys are ahead of the curve.”

Thabo doesn't know how contract years work. Between Fisher shooting 10% from 3 and he is like 14%, and sucking on D while trying to do too much on offense, have to ship him and his pretty wife out of here or offer him the low call contract
How strong is Ibaka? I need him to be that aggressive on the regular

Not very, those are supermodel muscles. Him being able to defend 5s would be the next progression for this team and allow us to create more versatile lineups.

Golden State 13-17 from 3, 76,.5%
