Kevin Durant Starter/Star [1.1] 39.5 High [1.2] 30.1 7.6 2.8 2.4 112.99 Durant’s age-21 season was a full-scale offensive eruption. He captured the 2010 scoring title at 30.1 points per game, blending effortless pull-up threes with long-stride drives that forced constant help. His 90.0% free-throw shooting on over 10 attempts per night turned late-game fouling into a losing proposition. More than just volume, his efficiency (.476 FG, .365 from three) and durability—82 starts, nearly 40 minutes per night—cemented him as an MVP runner-up and a First Team All-NBA cornerstone.
