2015-16 Thunder player preview: Kevin Durant tries to reclaim the throne

Kevin Durant's 2014-15 campaign was the worst of his career, and came on the heels of Durant's first MVP. As such, Durant has a ton to prove going into this season. Can Durant get back to being the greatest player in the world?

Early returns say yes. In the pre-season, KD was able to lead the Thunder in scoring while shooting 59% from the field. That's a small step, but it's important to proving his position on the team. Russell Westbrook is a phenomenal athlete and a tremendous scorer, but he simply doesn't have the breadth of abilities that KD does.
