Can the Rockets’ Bold New Duo of Kevin Durant and Jabari Smith Ignite an Unstoppable Championship Run?
They also don’t need Durant to be one of the best defenders on the team. Ryan Dunn was a nice find for the Suns, but they didn’t have good perimeter defenders or a massive presence at the rim. Durant was expected to carry a huge burden offensively and also cover his teammates on the other end.
The Rockets don’t need any coverage there because they have plenty of big, nasty, physical defenders. The Rockets needed someone to unlock doors they couldn’t get through before. When there are doors that just need to be kicked down? They already got plenty of guys for that.
