Kevin Durant was never going to be able to single-handedly fix the Rockets' reluctance to shoot.
Kevin Durant is one of the greatest scorers, shooters, and all-around offensive players in NBA history. There isn't an angle on the court from which the Houston Rockets superstar can't efficiently bury a shot, with generational midrange and three-point marksmanship in his repertoire.
That made him a perfect fit for a Rockets team that desperately needed a pure scorer and a knockdown shooter—but Durant was never going to be able to fix the full problem on his own.
