Can the Rockets’ Bold New Duo of Kevin Durant and Jabari Smith Ignite an Unstoppable Championship Run?

Can the Rockets' Bold New Duo of Kevin Durant and Jabari Smith Ignite an Unstoppable Championship Run?

The Phoenix Suns were a shallow team that needed Durant to play a ton of minutes to have any chance of competing. Because of that, they stretched him to his breaking point. Durant averaged 36.6 minutes in his age-36 season last year. It was the most by a player that old since Michael Jordan played 37.0 per game on the 2002-03 Washington Wizards.

KD won’t have to do that in Houston. The Rockets were the No. 2 seed in the West without him. They can play him fewer minutes and give him extra time off when he needs it.
