Kevin Durant was one of the main proponents for young athletes to take their future decisions on their own hands an have the chance to go through a stint in the G-League immediately after graduating high school.

Following today's story, which noted commissioner Adam Silver is working on a pathway to revert the one-and-done rule, which has been in place since 2005, Durant expressed his take on the matter.

“I think its good for guys that are coming out of high school, who are not quite ready for the NBA yet but want to make a little bit of cash playing basketball and wanting to be a professional early,” said Durant, according to Logan Murdock of the San Jose Mercury News. “Where every day you're thinking about the game of basketball, not school, not dorm rooms, none of that stuff. Just thinking about basketball and how to get better.”

“I think it depends on how you feel. You gotta be honest with yourself at the end of the day. If you're not as good as you think you are when you get to the NBA, you probably should've went to the G-League or college. So you gotta assess yourself and your real skills and people around you gotta be real with you and not blow smoke up your a**.”

Durant could have been one of those possible talents breaking into the league as an 18-year-old, but he played a year for the University of Texas before declaring for the NBA Draft and being selected with the No. 2 pick by the Seattle SuperSonics in 2007.

Had he had the luck of being born in an earlier year, Durant would have been an undeniable talent that the G League could have shaped into an NBA player. Knowing that, the Golden State Warriors forward is hopeful this opportunity is provided for the upcoming generations of basketball talent.
