Kevin Durant or Brandon Roy

[ihatetimthomas]

Both young studs for their respective teams. Both integral parts of their teams future. Both have ROY awards and both are ready to contribute now.

I would have to say Brandon Roy is more refined and has better fundamentals even as a rookie. He has proven he is very versatile. He can dish, defend, handle the rock, and score when needed.

Durant is a scorer. I think he has more potential to become a bonafide scorer. He can become a T-Mac type scorer if he refines his offensive skills. He could become more of a #1 option than Roy.

So who you got? Personally, I couldnt go wrong with either. Both bring different elements to their teams and both have youth on their sides. I may go with Durant bc he is 4 years younger and has bigger upside. But I really like the consistency and bball IQ in Roy and his ability to run a team. He seems like he a leader. But many times, youth and potential overcome all

Brandon Roy

For this season or for the next decade? This season, probably Roy because he is more polished. The next decade? Without a doubt KD, he will be a superstar in this league.

[iamgine]

Of course Brandon Roy

This is like asking Allen Iverson or Scottie Pippen, I have to go with Pippen every time.

[KeylessEntry]

Tough choice, but I would have to go with Roy. Although he cannot score as well as KD, he takes much better shots and is/will be a true leader. I have not seen Durant show that he can lead a team the same way Roy does.

For this season? I'll take Roy. But for future considerations give me Durant.

KD has WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY more upside ....

If we are talking about right now for immediate use, Brandon roy is the obvious choice. Kevin Durant did show alot of promise with his excellent rookie season, which is easily comparable to if not better than lebron and melo's rookie season, but time will tell how KD shapes out.

KD has WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY more upside ....

Not to cr4p on your post, but the very same thing was said about Bargnani when he and Roy were rookies in the same class...

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

This season its Roy....then from next year till another decade its all Kevin Durant

Of course Brandon Roy

This is like asking Allen Iverson or Scottie Pippen, I have to go with Pippen every time.

So Pippen's a better scorer than Iverson

and way way way better defender?

and way way way better defender?

When did i say that. He's saying Pippen's better than Iverson in every part of the game. What a lameass statement But of course overall pippen>iverson

When did he say Pippen was better in every part of his game?? It looks to me he is just saying he overall take Pippen over AI

[EricForman]

I think Durant has far more upside. Roy is an undersized 2 without super athletism. Can anyone picture him being much better than he is right now? Like does he look like someone that can be dropping 28 a night later on?

KD I can picture being ridiculous later. Of course he could also be a bust. But still, I'd say KD has more potential to blow up.
