Make your choice... the numbers tend to favour Durant, but the change of Portland from the jail-blazers to a highly respected play-off team is 100% because of Roy.
Who would you draft?

Hmmm, both exceptional. Perhaps Durant just edges Roy in the long run because with his height he is going to be impossible to defend well after Roy's knees go and he can't get that separation he currently does so well! (I'm talking real long term here).
Btw did anyone see Roy's backwards, through the legs dribble a couple of days ago? I think it was against Denver and he used it to just stop on a dime before smoothly nailing the top of the key jumper. His defender was still running backwards as the shot went through the net! Mad skills on that play!

thats the ankle breaker roy gives melo. crazy good move then sticks the jumper too.
i love roy's leadership and class, but think i'd take durant - his work ethic is really becoming something of a legend around the league too.

Thanks Daniao.
I would take Durant with zero hesitation. Roy is a very good player, but Durant is one of a kind.

I saw that step-back through the legs move where Roy rattled it home. Very nice move and had the crowd gasping!
Durant is probably the more complete rounded player, but I must admit I like watching Roy light it up!

Durant.. I think he will be one of the best small forwards to ever play

I'm leaning towards Durant, but only because of Roy's shakey health. Big fan of both guys though.
