The NBA second pick in the draft may not get the as much practice as desired. This week the Sonic's Kevin Durant is out of action with a sprained ankle. The inconvenience will not prevent him from playing in the first game of the season. Unlike the no. 1 pick in the draft, Greg Oden, who will be out for the season after having surgery Durant eyes a full season filled with endless possibilities. He has a bright future ahead of him in the NBA. He has the best shot at receiving rookie of the year honors.
The Supersonics are starting off slow in the preseason with a (1-5) as they lost to the Warriors 126-122 in overtime Tuesday night. Despite the injury Durant finished the game with 21 points. After dealing away Rashad Lewis and Ray Allen Seattle is hurting for some veteran leaders. This team find themselves in a tough Western conference with mediocre competition few and far between. It's still possible management can swing a few good trades during the season and give the Sonics a boost in the second half of the season. Durante will give them scoring, versatility, quickness, and defense.
