But Can He Play?

According to reports, Kevin Durant did not exactly wow people at the NBA tryouts. Much is being made of the fact that he could not bench press 185 pounds.

The best quote comes from his former coach at Texas,Rick Barnes, who told the Dallas Morning News,"If they are looking for weight lifters to come out of Texas, that's not what we're producing. There are a lot of guys who can bench press 300 pounds in the NBA who couldn't play dead in a cowboy movie. Kevin's the best player in the draft -- period, at any position."

Well said Rick.
