JJ Redick hails Kevin Durant as a great defender
“Kevin Durant was the best defender on the floor last night. Individually, help side, he made a ton of amazing defensive plays and he’s gotta be that. Obviously, Bruce Brown is also a very good defender but Kevin has gotta be their best defender.”
The fight for a playoff spot between the Brooklyn Nets and the Cleveland Cavaliers saw both teams battle it out until the end. The game was a demonstration of how beautiful basketball can be, with both teams executing to perfection. Wherein Kevin Durant was able to establish his presence on either ends of the court.
Given that the Celtics are in a better form than the Cavs, KD will need to stay longer on the defensive end alongside Drummond and other players, if they are to pose early pressure on the Green Army.
JJ Redick is not wrong with his hot take, Kevin Durant might be one of the most underrated defenders in the 2021-22 season. Furthermore, the Nets need their marquee player to be active as ever if they are to pave their way through against the big guns in East.
