Last week, Daniel O'Brien of FanRag Sports wrote up a detailed piece about Kevin Durant's versatility as a passer and lays out some numbers to establish that he's having a career-year as a facilitator.
In short, no matter how you measure it, Durant is creating assists at a higher rate than ever this year.
But what really stood out about O'Brien's piece was this segment about how Durant is creating those assists, especially in transition.
He has become masterful at exploiting opponents’ mistakes and setting up his sweet-shooting teammates...Whether he’s catching the ball while loping up the court or pushing the ball off the dribble, he has a knack for fluidly finding open teammates in transition.
