has consistently been one the best players in the NBA for a better part a decade now. His skills out on the court are hard to match and his skills are what ultimately helped propel the Golden State Warriors to two-straight NBA championships. In the fseason, Durant joined the Brooklyn Nets who also added the likes Kyrie Irving. Unfortunately, the Nets have yet to see KD on the court due to his ruptured Achilles tendon.

Durant is on pace to come back next season although not everyone thinks he will be much a help. In a new report from ESPN’s Tim Bontemps, some executives think KD is destined for a bad year when he comes back.

“I think Durant will probably have the worst year his career,” one executive said. “No fault to him, but people don’t come back from Achilles injuries and tear the league up. It’s all relative. In the worst year his career, he might be the 25th-best player in the league, and they might win 50 games. I just don’t see them being a realistic contender barring some moves.

While an Achilles injury is, indeed, hard to come back from, it doesn’t mean KD will be washed. There are a ton factors that go into whether or not a player comes back in shape. As it stands, Durant is making great progress and Nets fans should be excited.
