Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City Thunder

nERD Score: 19.7
Team Record: 55-27

• Third in Scoring (28.2) and FT Percentage (.898)
• Career-high in 3-Pointers Made Per Game (2.6)
• Career-high in Rebounds Per Game (8.2)

All in all, it was a fantastic season for Kevin Durant. The big jump from 27 games played a year ago to 72 this time around was an achievement on its own, but Durant took it a few steps further.


Durant showed the league that he was back to his normal self ASAP after recording four 20-point games, two 30-point games, and a 40-point game in his first seven games of the season. There was a scare when Durant missed six early-season games due to a hamstring injury, but he immediately bounced back and went on to score 20-plus points in 64 consecutive games to close out the regular season.

There are many questions surrounding Durant's upcoming offseason. Through four games in the second round of the playoffs, Durant is averaging 27.8 points against a stingy Spurs defense as he looks to extend his season donning Thunder blue and orange.
