So since 36 > 25.5 i think scoring goes to Kawhi any day of the week. This combined with Kawhi being the best defender in the league (if you disagree hes top 3 but its still just as impressive) means that this is arguably the best season for a 25 year old since Michael Jordan and arguably the second best from someone that young EVER, and remember that MJ was allowed to play a lot more minutes(121% more to be exact) so i won't be going into detail on why his season is better than MJs 37.2ppg season as that's for another blog but the summary is this is essentially a top 5 all time season with those stats so how is he not better than someone about 7th in MVP voting? And while this is an estimate these are still All-Time great season numbers. So most of you expected this but playing in pops offense means, lower basic stats, less steals, more blocks and a much higher TS% and although this was expected the actual numbers still have a MUCH higher effect than just a repetitive sentence. If adjusted for pace and pop Kawhi averages These are the stats I used in my poll recently as the result comparing them to Kevin Durant's stats was a 87-13 win percentage wise. LaMarcus might not play the same position but both are forwards and he is the only superstar to join the Spurs so it's the best I can do So what i decided was accurate was to use how much his stats changed and adjust Kawhi's stats to that change This is most obvious when you look at LaMarcus Aldridge in Portland vs LaMarcus in San Antonio. The system Pop has in place makes it so that bench players production rises but stars production drops So one of the biggest reasons why Kawhi doesn't have unbelievable numbers this season is Gregg Popovich. So now that you will not complain about his scoring stats let me show you what the stats actually look likeĪnd let me remind you the shooting percentage is only different thanks to the Warriors incredible floor spacing and it's already really close And his usage rate has only gone down by 0.2 which is less than the difference between Harden and LeBron. This is obvious when you see his stats, he takes about 3 less shots a game but only makes 0.8 less. Better teamates does not hurt the number one options scoring the lack of shots is made up for by higher quality shots so it does not matter, Kevin Durant is the #1 option in Golden State and therefore takes less but higher quality shots Kevin Durant’s scoring has not been hurt basically at all by his teamĭo not believe me? Look at the numbers and use common sense. This is the closest he's ever come to netting a 5x5 in the bag.Now this one is one where I see a lot f misconceptions, so let me clear them up. He compiled his 32 points off just 21 shots, making 3 out of his 4 3-point attempts. OKC came away with a 113-103 win that night, and Durant was almost single-handedly responsible for their come-from-behind victory. But KD's nonstop offensive onslaught while wreaking havoc on the defensive end eventually proved to be too much for a Wolves team that was clearly on the come-up that season, but had a fair amount of work to do to become a playoff team as it was constructed back then.
The Thunder trailed for the entirety of the first half, and were down 5 points to start the 4th. None of those performances, however, match the kind of influence he exerted on both sides of the court on the 1st of December, 2013 against a Minnesota Timberwolves that was on the rise. KD's MVP season saw him put up an assortment of crazily underrated performances. #5 The only player to record a 32/10/12/4/4 statline Minnesota Timberwolves v Oklahoma City Thunder
Kevin durant stats series#
He still averaged over 20 points per game in those series as well, and his streak of playoff series with a 25 ppg average is 16 series long - next only to Michael Jordan who has an outrageous streak of 37 straight series to his credit. In 24 playoff series played thus far, Durant has averaged below 25 points per game only twice, and those were in 2016-17 when he wasn't necessarily a primary scorer since he was coming off foot injuries. He's the greatest mid-range scorer in the history of the game behind Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, shooting over 50% in the playoffs in the 10-24 foot range over the past 6 seasons. He currently averages 28.8 points per game over the course of 127 playoff games, and his game and frame is well-suited to keep this average up even late into his 30s, purely because he isn't overly reliant on his athleticism or speed to get those points. Kevin Durant is no slouch when it comes to scoring in the playoffs either. #4 Second-longest playoff series streak with 25+ points scoring average He did so on what was the second-highest scoring average of all players on that list as well - 28.1 points per game.
