Could Kevin Durant have challenged James Worthy.....?

Question

at the collegiate level?

Answer 1

Uh, no.  Worthy is a Hall of Famer, and, could easily defent Durant..

Answer 2

Durant has no D, Worthy was a complete player, so the answer is no

Answer 3

Big Game James would take his @ss to school!

Answer 4

no way Worthy would have owned Durant!

Answer 5

Nope

Worthy was a much stronger player and a better post up game. Durrant may be a better shooter and may have been a bit quicker.  Defensively, Worthy would have been much better.  Keep in mind you are talking about a high schooler vs. a three year starter.

Answer 6

yeah stat wise. individually. but worthy's UNC team would've stomped durant's Texas crew. Dean Smith was credited as the only person to be able to hold Michael Jordan under 20pts the same can be said for worthy who never put up kevin durant type numbers in any of his years AT UNC. that UNC team was unselfish and had weapons all over the floor. So stat wise i think durant would be the only effective player on that team. dj augustine has game but he would've been shut down.

Worthy avg 14.5 pts 7.8 rebs and 2.5 ast.

Durant's one season 25.8pts 11.1 rebs 1.9 ast.

yeah stat wise he would've put up good numbers regardless.
