Yet. Remember when Team USA lost to Greece in the World Championships a few years ago? The Greek team realized that LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony had not mastered defending the pick-and-roll, and exploited it all night. You're in good company.

Three things we know the owners will address is the Tim Donaghy referee scandal, revenue sharing and the Sonics application to relocate to Oklahoma City. Durant’s career-high, 42-point effort in the last game of the season couldn’t have hurt.

Opinion: Kevin Durant: A Progress Report

22 Feb 2008 02:29:00 PST

Written by David Friedman
I watched Durant play in the Summer League and evaluated his game objectively without resorting to baseless hype. I wrote several posts here describing exactly what I saw, including Durant Hardly Dominant as Summer League Concludes and Kevin Durant--Shooting Guard? I don't mean to pat myself on the back--well, maybe I do just a little bit--but if you read those posts you will discover that Durant's production as a rookie has been exactly what I predicted. Right now he is a one dimensional player and the only category that he performs well in is free throw percentage. Unfortunately, Durant cannot take advantage of that because he is not good at drawing fouls, which is something else that I correctly predicted despite the fact that he did dr...
