Oklahoma City Thunder's Scott Brooks hails Kevin Durant

Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Scott Brooks has praised Kevin Durant for his all-round performance in the NBA this season.

The 25-year-old forward has averaged 31.5 points a game so far this season.

"KD is a great player," NBA.com quotes Brooks as saying. "He's a great teammate. He does all the things that we have asked.

"He doesn't want to be just a scorer. He wants to be a playmaker, a defender and that's what he's done all season for us."

The Thunder are currently at the top of the Western Conference.
