Are we seeing Durant's peak?

[moe94]

Or can he get even better? I mean, let's be real here, if this is not his peak, what in the universe is happening?

This is not a career thread so slow down with accolades and team record or any of that stuff.

We talking about peak.

[imnew09]

no, it's just his normal numbers

fken ish never disappoints..

He's 25, and many players peak around 27. It's a legitimate question as to whether we are witnessing his Prime or Peak.

[All Net]

He's not even in his prime yet.

[moe94]

31/8/5 on 50% with 64 TS% are not his normal numbers, genius.

The only reason he's scoring this much is Westbrook is out

Are you a Heat fan now?

[Joyner82reload]

On a bad team? 33/8/6 67 TS% 32 PER aren't out of the question for Durant. I'm sure he could gun for 40 ppg if he really chose to

And no, he's not at his peak. He's in the very early stages of his prime.

In life you go where the winners are

[Spokelahoma]

he's probably still another 2-3 years away from his absolute peak...and thats scary

Just like 22 year old Paul was years away from his peak?

But Westbrook will be a detriment. He can't score like this with Russell alongside.

^^I forgot to take that totally irrelevant piece of information into consideration while forming my own opinion. Sorry, im not that good at this yet. I am on the rise though

[COLOR=Teal]Skills and feel for the game generally plateau at the age of 28-32. Durant has a solid 3-5 years of development before he peaks in that regard.

Production-wise it's all dependent on circumstances, right now he has to carry his team with WB down and so far has far exceeded expectations, in particular shooting % and clutch makes given opponents focus on him defensively. Be interesting to see if he can keep it up once WB comes back.
