I think he would have, yeah, if he doesn't get injured. He would have dominated the NCAA in his first year, and he was exactly the type of scorer/shooter they are looking for today. I know he wasn't and isn't a good playmaker, but Durant wasn't either (not saying he would have been as good as Durant in the NCAA either, just that they love those lanky, long, elite scorers). And yeah, perimeter players have an advantage these days on the draft, I think at least.
