Even from a sample as small as we have now, I think it's pretty fair to say that it is extremely unlikely he will ever have the impact of a Howard, James, Garnett, etc.

I'm eagerly awaiting Bill Simmons's response to his whole Durant "best player evar" type stuff from last spring/summer.

His stats and the way that he is playing remind me a lot of Kobe during his rookie year. I think you are WAY premature with the above comments.
