Durant is a skill player first. Hate to see what that would have done to his jumpshot and mobility. There aren't that many legal ways you can really use big muscles, and skill/fundamentals/positioning/leverage/etc can always trump that.
KD also just doesn’t have the same frame. Giannis was skinny as fuck when he came in too but he was still physically developing, his actual frame changed as well as him putting on a heap of muscle. KD couldn’t put on that much muscle even if he wanted to with something resembling a normal basketball workout routine.
