The transfer student rankings have been announced. Naturally, Durant was chosen first.
On the 11th (Korea time), ESPN pointed out Kevin Durant as No. 1 in the transfer student rankings, saying in an article titled `14 transfer students to pay attention to'
The media outlet said, "'Durant, who turns 37 this year, is the biggest fish among transfer students. He has the only MVP career among the transfer players. Houston is emerging as a favorite after recruiting Durant. Houston is a team that lacks scoring ability, and Durant has a very good clutch effective field goal rate (43.8%). It is expected to play a one-option role as it joins Houston, which has the lowest clutch fielding percentage in the league.
Houston finished second in the West last season. However, he struggled in the playoffs. Alferen Sengun and Fred VanVlet, who are performing in the EuroBasket MVP class, are one-two punches. There are big newcomers such as Amen Thompson, but Houston did not have a clear one option.
However, with Durant joining, these weaknesses have been transformed into strengths. This is why Houston has emerged as a strong opponent that can prevent Oklahoma City's dominance in the West.
