Perimeter shooting – Kevin Durant. What is the one thing to counterbalance Westbrook’s and Love’s offensive talent? Elite perimeter shooting. Kevin Durant has been an elite shooter since he entered the league, and acquiring a player that is nearly a 50-40-90 player every season with a 7’5″ wingspan would make this trio unstoppable. Westbrook would get the space he requires to attack the lanes. Kevin Love will always have outlet shooters to pass to. Kevin Durant will be the beneficiary. While Westbrook and Love are good playmakers in their own right, Durant is coming into his own averaging nearly 5 assists per game.
