Kevin Durant Weighs in on Suns’ Newcomer: "He’s a Game-Changer"
For the first time since the Phoenix Suns made the blockbuster trade for 7-foot Jamaican big man, Kevin Durant has spoken about the team’s newest addition. The NBA superstar, who has been keeping a close eye on the Suns’ offseason moves, had high praise for the towering center.
"I’ve had the chance to watch him play, and I’m telling you, he’s a game-changer," Durant said in an exclusive interview. "His size, his length, his athleticism – it’s a unique combination that not many players possess. He’s got the potential to dominate the paint and change the way teams defend the Suns."
The Suns acquired the 24-year-old big man in a trade with the Toronto Raptors, sending a package of players and draft picks in return. While some may have been skeptical about the move, Durant believes the addition will have a significant impact on the team’s success.
"What I love about him is his versatility," Durant continued. "He can play both inside and out, which makes him a nightmare to defend. He’s got the ability to stretch the floor with his three-point shot, and then use his size and strength to overpower opponents in the paint. He’s a true two-way player."
Durant also praised the big man’s work ethic and basketball IQ, saying that he’s impressed by the player’s dedication to improving his game.
"What I’ve seen from him so far is a player who is always looking to get better," Durant said. "He’s got a great attitude, and he’s always asking questions and seeking feedback from his coaches and teammates. That’s the kind of mentality that will take him to the next level."
As the Suns prepare for the upcoming season, Durant believes that the addition of the 7-foot Jamaican big man will give them a significant boost.
"This trade is a huge win for the Suns," Durant said. "He’s a difference-maker, and I think he’ll be a key factor in their success this season. I’m excited to see how he fits in with the team and how he contributes to their quest for a championship."
With the season just around the corner, fans of the Suns are eagerly anticipating the debut of their new big man. With Durant’s seal of approval, expectations are high for the team’s prospects this year.
