forget Durant vs Granger, in a couple years the more logical question will be Durant or Kobe/Lebron/Wade. Trust me on that. Once his body fills out and get a couple more years under his belt, it's lights out. He'll be first or second team all nba for a decade.

Real tough. Both are on their way to becoming superstars, and even a bit overlooked.

But Kevin Durant is amazing! Kid is gonna be a problem in the future.

I do love me some Danny Granger but it's very difficult to argue against Kevin Durant.

For a skinny guy who still isn't old enough to go into a bar without being accompanied by an adult... 6.5 rebounds isn't too shabby.

And height doesn't mean more rebounds, look at Nowitzki (9 RPG for 7' guy) or Ilgauskas (7.8 for a 7'3" center). Durant is primarily a scorer anyways...

Lee and Troy Murphy are actually impressing me with their stats. Paul Millsap a bit less. And Howard is already a superstar, whereas the other 3 are more under the radar. Lee led the league in double double & Murphy was 45% from downtown (161 made attempts...) while averaging 11.8 boards. That's something.

Sadly I don't get to see the Jazz play a lot. Not only I live on the East Coast, I live in Quebec. Which means no ESPN, and mainly Raptors games. I go get West Coast games but basically only the Lakers and Suns the last couple of years. I like the Jazz though.

I love Granger. I've seen him light up my Hawks plenty of times so I'll take him. I haven't seen enough of Durant to pick him. But seriously, dude needs to put on some muscle in a hurry..

Danny Granger right now is a much better all around player, I think Durant might be better in the future but they're both great.

Going by those stats, granger is doing more, on a better team with less playing time
