Kevin Durant, by joining the most efficient offense in the NBA, gets to play alongside Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, giving the Golden State Warriors an immediate upgrade over Harrison Barnes. And while the team that set the NBA record for most regular season wins didn’t need another superstar on the roster, adding one as bright as Durant should make this team virtually unstoppable.

But first, to fully transform himself as part of the Warriors’ offensive scheme, Durant has to
say goodbye to hero ball. Specifically, he has to put himself in fewer man-to-man, or isolation, situations. Among forwards, only Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James ran isos more often. In the playoffs, only James, Kyrie Irving and Russell Westbrook found themselves in man-to-man situations more frequently, and all were more efficient scorers.
Instead, Durant needs to just be what he is: a much better version of Barnes.
An integral part of the vaunted small-ball lineup of death, Barnes was used primarily as a spot-up shooter, relying on a no-dribble jumper that produced 1.14 points per possession during the regular season. Durant wasn’t used on this play as often with the Thunder, but when Durant’s number was called, he was more efficient (1.19 points per possession).
