Looks like All NBA to me.
For comparison:
Kobe Bryant 27 points per, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 47% from the field, 35% on 3's, 86% from the line

Whoa, whoa, hold it!
Last year I said he was skinny, shot from the outside too much
because he could not go to the hole. I also said (because I frggn
watched him play almost everygame at Texas) that I had never seen
such a beautiful catch and shoot guy and once he starts going to the
basket and getting fouled...
And thats exactly what he is doing.
He is still skinny but not the wimp last year.
He has definitley hit the weights. I actually saw
some definition in those arms. He is almost about Gervin
strength. I think thatll do.
The guy I also really like on that team is Green. He could
really take off next year.
Now as for a comparison with Kobe...
Durant has led his team to stellar 13 wins.
You can put him all NBA for big stats but
a team that is getting waxed every other night...
Do the stats mean as much? Dont think so.
