How good is his longevity historically compared to other players?
He gets a high grade on the fact that he tore his Achilles, and changed his game to be a better player after it. KD doesn’t go inside the The paint nearly as much as he used to. But he also has developed his mid-range jumper to higher levels than it was before the Achilles. He’s a fantastic example of somebody changing their game to stay dominant
