durant vs roy

[boston.balla]

I'm having a discussion with some friends at work. These guys keep saying durant is better than roy. I disagree.

Roy seems to be a good leader, he is CLUTCH, he has a complete game (I am shocked of the number of assists durant has taking into account how much the ball resides in his hands- does this kid understand the word pass?) and can take over a game with more than his scoring.

I see roy as a great young player and as the best sg in a couple of years (yes, yes .. dwade is a pg in my eyes and by that time kobe will have lost a step).
I see durant just as volume shooter with great length, size and potential.

But, as of now, I consider roy to be miles ahead, with a much much more polished game and a killer instinct that resembles kobe's.

What do you think?

I wouldn't waste my time with anyone who thinks Durant is better than Roy. Just give them straight jackets and admit them to the nearest psych ward coz they are insane!

Within 2 years Durant will be better than Roy

Roy still is a better play than Durant, but it won't be for long.

Also, Durant must be the only one-dimentional shooter that averages 9 rebounds per game (and he actually goes to the line more than Roy).

And why is Wade a PG in your eyes? Because PGs are supposed to dominate the ball? Roy is just as ball dominant as Wade.

Roy is better, but once the Thunder get a little better, it will be a of a comparison.

Durant is nowhere near Roy's level. He's a volume shooter that doesn't play defense. When Durant starts making his teammates better we can have this discussion.

I bet Roy can bench press more than 80 lbs!

Durants better.

Roy plays defense? His team is getting pwnd on that end and his coach is pissed about it.

Is that what Durant benches?
