NBA: Behind Anthony Davis, New Orleans Pelicans still waiting to take flight

NEW ORLEANS -- The Kevin Durant who entered the NBA is almost unrecognizable today.

Nineteen years old. No chin hairs to tug on. An even spindlier body sheathed in green and gold. Photos of the then-starting shooting guard for the Seattle SuperSonics might as well come decorated in scratch-and-sniff stickers.

Durant stuck out at times back in the 2007-08 season, too.
