What It Means:

"He can play the point; he played point a lot for Oklahoma City over the years. He likes involving his teammates," explained Adams in regards to Durant. "I don’t know how you rank him in the pantheon of current players, but no matter how you do it, he’s certainly in the top three in the world." One of the main selling points for Durant during his free agency decision was when Jerry West told Durant he felt his playmaking was underutilized with the Thunder, and that it could be maximized in Golden State's more free flowing offensive system. This could mean a slight hit to Draymond Green's usage and fantasy value.

Durant is coming off of a phenomenal season in which he posted a career-high 12.4 percent total rebound rate, the second highest assist rate of his career at 24.2 percent, while still finishing third in the league with 28.2 points per game. His 19.7 nERD was second only to new teammate Stephen Curry.
