The Houston Rockets acquired Kevin Durant to do what he does best - be one of the greatest scorers in NBA history. They also signed him to guide their young core to success.
Perhaps Durant isn't who you picture when you hear the word "mentor". Fair. Durant has a complicated personality. He doesn't possess all the stereotypical leadership qualities.
That said, Durant has never caused problems off the court. He doesn't get into trouble. His love for the game of basketball is apparent. He should rub off on the Rockets' young players in a positive way.
