    29 people on this board need their head checked. Deron Williams is nothing compared to Durant and I will even go as far to say that Russell Westbrook will be better then Deron in 2 years. Thunder are going to be dangerous for years to come if they can keep all those guys together.

    That was Wilt who scored a 100 in a game.

    It's not even a question, and Durant is only 21.
    Durant is a much, much better player.

    The fg% argument is about as lame as bringing up a batting average in baseball.
    That was a good stat to bring up in 1985...now it just shows that you're behind the times.
    There is much more to scoring than a field goal percentage.
    If you take 20 two pointers and shoot 50%, you get 20 points.
    If you take 20 three pointers and shoot 35% you get 21 points.

    There are umpteen more examples, including how many times you get to the line, that blows the fg% stat out of the water, but I'll digress for now.

    Utah would trade Deron for Durant without having to think about it...they would throw in a draft pick and Miles to sweeten the deal if they had to...

    Can you even compare the two? They don't even play the same position, and their skill sets are based on the position they play. :confused:

    even when CP3 is healthy, he isn`t that much better than DWill.

    but since CP3`s injury, DWill has been the best PG in the league hands down IMO.

    I'll take Durant. There are plenty of PGs in the league...DW isn't clearly the best one. I'm fine with Paul, Nash, Rondo, etc. A 6-10 guy with guard skills and a deadly jumper is kind of rare. Not to mention he is only 21. No GM would take DW over Durant.

    I don't know, they are both amazing. Deron is easily the best PG in the NBA now and Durant....he has just been sick

    Those 2 along with Lebron might be the 3 best players in the NBA right now

    I like Westbrook but I don't see this happening at all.

    In 2 years Westbrook will be better than Deron.

    In 3 years Durant will be better than Lebron.

    2 things we have heard within the last week. The Thunder should end up with about 8 championships if this happens.

    Who is better is different argument than who would you take to build your team around. As for who is better, DWill has the stronger argument. He is the best player in his position. Durant, on the other hand, isn't. DWill can score and make the whole team run, while Durant only focuses on scoring.

    On the other hand, I'd take Durant to build my team around, because he is younger, which means a longer career, and he is more unique and poses more matchup problems.

    Both are fantastic players though.

    Yeah, you can always count on hyperbole going off the deep end in the heat of a winning streak or with an upset in the playoffs. And this series isn't even over yet.
