Investigation is the name of the game, which equates to lots of meticulously walking every available inch of an area and pressing a button when on-screen prompts (either a hand or a magnifying glass) pop up.

Last season, he stayed healthy and continued to improve his outside game, although he didn’t get as many points at the line and his FT percentage dropped to career worst levels. On the plus side, KD became a monster on the boards and also a pretty good contributor of assists. He’s done a good job the past couple of seasons of staying out of foul trouble and his scoring numbers bounced back somewhat last season. The key player of a young core in OKC which made it to the Finals last season, Durant just turned 24 last month, so there is still a ton of upside here, and that’s a scary proposition for the rest of the NBA.
