Steve Nash sees Kevin Durant as an ‘a defender’ when ‘fit and in rhythm’

Despite only playing 26 games for the Nets this season, Kevin Durant is on pace for a historic career year.

Durant’s niche as one of the most prolific scorers the game of basketball has ever known is not up for debate. The Nets superstar is posting career-best numbers in effective field goal percentage (62.2), three-point percentage (47.1) and field goal percentage (54.7). To complement his stellar shooting percentages, Durant is nursing the best offensive rating of his career - 121.5 - with less than a quarter of the regular season played because of injury and two separate stays in health and safety protocols.
