#2 Kevin Durant (Golden State Warriors)
Kevin Durant joined an already stacked team in the Warriors, and made them invincible. His average of 27.5 points a game is the 5th best in the league right now as he continues to post outrageous numbers on a nightly basis.
Along with shooting in upwards of 51% from the field so far, he has also been dishing out dimes at a career-high rate of almost 6 per game -- something that gets buried beneath the razzle-dazzle in the bay area.
He carries the kind of nerves and skills that you need when going into battle against the very best in the game. His 10th All-star nomination saw him being picked first by LeBron in the All-Star draft for a second straight year.
Highlight: Back in November against the Magic, Durant dropped an insane stat line of 49 points, 9 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, finishing 13-13 from the FT line.
