At least Darko didn't embarrass himself.

He also has 2 (count em yes all of two rebounds) and ZERO assists. It can't get any worse or can it?

If he is too young to cut the mustard he should have stayed in school.

This is only the summer league where the competition is a lot weaker than the regular season, will Durant have the guts to show up come November or find himself conveniently on medical leave?

How many millions is he getting? At least Darko was smart enough to be out of condition his first year, knowing that if he were in condition Brown would have played him and Darko would have come up smelling like gunk. (I don't believe that for a minute but it sounded good. LOL)

I think it is only a matter of time before Durant brings a doctor's note to practice.

The hysterical part of the whole thing is that Stern can't help Durant shoot straight or get rebounds, only foul shots which Durant has had plenty of the first two games. (At least he is making those).

ESPN - Sheridan: Carlesimo not panicking over Durant duds - NBA

Even Oden gets a medical leave to have his tonsils taken out, after two games in the summer league.

ESPN - Tonsillectomy means summer ends early for Oden - NBA

I am sure glad that we have got Hod Rod. This kid is a baller.

worse than darko? darko's SL performances left a lot to be desired. And I was pulling for him!

ZOMG!! Only 2 rebounds in summer league?? He is definitely going to be a bust now for sure.

What were the Sonics thinking???

Comparing Duenat to Darko is crazy at this point. The kid has played two summer league games. Being the #2 pick in the draft is about as far as the comparison should go between Darko and Durant.

I wouldn`t worry at all about his shortcomings in the summer league. Afterall, a few games in the summer league is not an indication of how your NBA career is going to turn out.

He is 18 for God`s sake! What do you expect out of him??

That`s just like Amir ripping the summer league and NBDL apart, is that an indication he will do that in the NBA? We all hope so, but it`s no guarantee.

The kid is struggling now, but IMO opinion, he will have a fine NBA career.

At least Durant was confident enough to keep shooting. Kevin will be okay once he and the rims come to an understanding.

No because Durant will get enough minutes in his first year to remove any doubt. Good average or bad.
I bet he sees no GT situations. Not one minute.

On that young Sonics team, I think you can count on seeing a lot of garbage time situations.

Thank you for another great season!

I'll set the perimeters. If he starts or comes of the bench in any quarter but gets inserted in the final 2 minutes, that's not GT.
If he sits all game and gets inserted in the last 2 min., that's GT.
Doesn't matter if they're winning or losing.

Not ready to chastise Durant yet...........After all, Duncan had trouble with GREG OOSTERTAG in his summer league game............

Just wondering. Did you post these same remarks about Darko when he was a rookie?
