Reports from the Sonics state the 2007-08 Rookie of the Year, forward Kevin Durant , has been withheld from the team's summer league game tonight against Orlando, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:Oklahoma City said it was holding Durant out, though the forward said earlier this week he wanted to compete against the Miami HeatÂ’s Michael Beasley. The two are friends, and fellow No. 2 overall draft picks.
Jeff Green has averaged 24.5 points per game thru two days of the Orlando Pro Summer League.
Our View:It's good to see Green be more aggressive. He passed up too many opportunities as a rookie and will need to be more assertive for his team to have any success this season.
Kevin Durant laced up his sneakers to participate in Day 2 of the Orlando Pro Summer League. In 27 minutes he scored 22 points and pulled down five rebounds.
Our View:You have to like this from the young millionaire. He insisted on coming so that he could mingle with his teammates, then he insisted on playing. He was at the draft lottery, then the actual draft. After the Orlando League, he will participate in practices with Team USA as they prepare for the Olympics. Durant's priorities are in line. He's a basketball player that LOVES the game.
