- KD came into the league already really really good.
- And while he has fine tuned his offensive moves he has not really improved in a few key departments to become a GOAT level player
- KD never really elevated his defense in the way that Lebron or Tatum have.
- KD never really elevated his passing.
- KD is not even a good 3 point shooter. Far more seasons below 36% than above and career 35%.
- His handle seems the exact same as it was on Day 1.
- KD practices Jumpers in the Club, but is that all he practices in practice?
Defensively it’s just night and day.
True shooting is a rookie was 52%. 65% over the past 5 years.
His three-point rate has about doubled since he came into the NBA.
His rebound rate was just over 10% when he came in and has consistently been just under 20% since.
His assist rate was around 12 or 13% early on and is consistently between 25 and 30% since
His block rate has nearly doubled.
Like you say, he came into the NBA shooting under 29% from 3. He’s been over 40% the past 5 years and 39% for his career now (not 35%, are you sure you know who Kevin Durant is?)
