High School kids are compared to Kevin Durant far too often. In this video I look back on 10 players that were given this comparison and where they are now.

Kevon Looney was still dubbed the next KD in college. Then his teammate fell on his leg in practice and the injury was so bad that he had to completely change his game so he became a post up player/rim protector.

@@StrictlyBBall how? Are you basing it on his earlier made up height? Cuz how can you still go with it now... How can he be the closest thing to Durant when he isn't even in same league size wize. He is an average size sf nothing like KD who is basically a 7fter plying wing. BI reach is what gives him the spider like look not his actual real height... The dude is 6f7 again thats not special nor should it be used to compare with KD who is 6'11/7ft. BI fantasy height has many people including you on a KD comp trip for so long it's silly and funny and your not the only one. Man it's silly that even after his real height came out when NBA went to actual numbers you still have people passing it on like it's fact. His exaggerated height has been one of the most accepted jiberish of any prospect and player in NBA history. The guy isn't the best KD comp, he should even be used.. full stop... Dude is not even a big 3 compared to other 3s in the league. Again he is avg height wise at best... The fsct that he is so skinny with extremely long reach plus his skill set is why people like you keep passing his height forklore as such. When in actuality he is not close, he himself has denied his height and suppose growth. Just look at him vs Hayes cuz that is what KD is like compared to Ingram. From Mason Ginsberg... "Official NBA Pels player heights vs. ESPN's listings: Hayes: 6'11 (0) Jah: 6'10 (-1) Favors: 6'10 (-1) Melli: 6'9 (0) BI: 6'7 (-2)"....

@@joshuadelosreyes4532 those are officials numbers from 2 years ago by a pelicans Court side reporter... Adults in their 20's don't tend to grow anymore but ok let's say he is 6'8 now, the rest we already know so don't know why you even need to add that part and I've stated as much in my comment abjiut his extremely long reach. Still that's not KD like... Thats more paul George, pascal siakem etc then it is KD. Kuzma is taller then BI and is a better comp to KD size wise and play type, though yes not as skilled then using BI...BI isn't a freaky tall wing like KD, he is avg in height compared to the rest of the them. So again whats your point here... You sound like I insulted BI or something man... I didn't the guy is extremely good but this isn't just a skill comp it's a size one too and BI is to small in height to compare to KD as a player. Who is a 7 footer out there.

@@aneeshanand9621 That’s what people said about Luka and Victor is more advanced than Luka was at 18 and has the potential to also be the best defender ever along with the offense. I’m pretty confident that barring a major injury or two he will be at least a top 20 player and very possibly top 10 or 5 or number 1 for many years. Injuries could derail that but I would bet against that since he’s been fine so far playing against grown men

You didn't do your homework man. Kevon Looney was a real deal in highschool. Try to watch his hs games you will see the resemblance. He changed his play style when he got to the NBA due to injury, because of his back injury he can no longer do the things he did in highschool. I just mentioned it because base on your context, the kevon looney we are seeing right now is just the same with high school kevon looney, most of your takes in the video were off and out of context

Brandon Ingram is only player that plays like Durant and his as good as Durant The problem is Ingram started on a really bad Lakers team with no veteran leadership and no other real stars on his team then he got traded to a battery organization and how to play with a bunch of rookies and sophomores as well. He's had moments where he looks more unstoppable than Durant but his team is not as good.

Come on man.... I agree with the premise of the video but KD doesn't have one of the best handle in the league, for a big yeah also when it's big on big dribbling. Compared to most of the elite guard man even back ups it's avg at best. Again Durant handles shows out because it's usually against other tall guys but come on any guard can usually run around bigs. Also Ingram isn't a comparable to KD...not anymore as he way to small and you can see it in the court. You and others need to get off his earlier bs where his height was stupidly exaggerated before the real numbers came out 2 years ago. People were talking all stupid nonsense, guys sayin he is now 6'11, gonna be 7 footer and all that. Nah man the guy is 6'7 thsts fact thats not KD, his wingspan don't make it one. He is just another PG type nothing close to KD.... So know this one don't make sense man.
