The Houston Rockets know they have an elite jumpshooter in Kevin Durant. That's an understatement - they landed the best jump shooter in the NBA.
That seems like a good plan, right? The Rockets were the best rebounding team in the NBA last year. They were one of the league's best defensive clubs. By contrast, they were sorely lacking in shooting ability. So, why not grab the league's best shooter?
That's exactly who Durant is. Don't believe me? Hoops Tonight's Jason Timpf just laid out the stats. It's hard to argue with facts, and every indication tells us that nobody in the NBA is as strong a jump shooter as Durant.
