How to make Kevin Durant dominate...

[Caventer]

I have been playing with the Thunder almost exclusively. I am pretty effective with them, but one thing that I have not been able to figure out is how to make KD dominate. We are talking about the leading scorer in the NBA last year (I think), but I cannot get him to consistently hit open jumpers. I assume this is just me and shot timing?

First of all Real FG% makes everything much more realistically. and 2ndly KD tries to drive and create Free Throw Attempts, not settle for jump shots.

If you want him to shoot consistently make sure most of the shots your taking with him (85-90%) are good shots, open, maybe not wide open but open shots that you moved the ball around to get. If your going iso on every play your not going to get great results. If your working the ball around and still not getting results go to practice mode, maybe your just timing it wrong...

i have noticed my players a few times (not necesarily durant) swipe the ball across a defender the way durant does IRL to create fouls, is there a way to get a whistle and go up for a 3 point play the way some players do in the league?

Turn shot feedback on to make sure you're timing his jumpshot correctly.

Run lots of plays to get him open looks. 21 Stretch Roll is a masterpiece.

Attack the rim aggressively. Use his height by attacking the lane and using some hop steps. You should draw a lot of fouls and force the D to collapse.

Real % isn't my favorite, it doesn't give me the feeling I'm controlling the game. Just take good shots, get to the line and take the treys when you can. Durant is arguably the best player in the game.

With Durant you can do everything pretty well with him. Learn how to do all of the layups in your sleep and you will see your free throw count skyrocket. Also learn how to work the pick and roll - he is nasty on the leak and will get a lot of open looks after he sets a pick.

I feel the same way about real field goal percentages myself. You have to play aggressively with star players to be dominate but... there is such a thing called off night. Like when nothing falls for you
