20 Most Clutch Players in the NBA right now

#2 Kevin Durant

Kevin Durant

How can a guy taller that 7-feet tall has such a smooth jump shot?, I will never know. And not only that, the guy has ice in his veins. Durant was always unstoppable on offense, but this year he is amongst the best on defense too (his defense is so impenetrable that even his fouls are not being called). He is averaging a tied league best in blocks per game in the clutch (minimum 8 clutch games played). He has been a top 5 clutch player in the league for years and hopefully will continue to do so in his coming years too.

Now let's see his last 3 years clutch stats-

2015-16: 4 ppg, 0.3 apg, 0.7 rpg on 41% shooting, 32% from threes, -0.2 bpm, -5.4 net rating, 18.6 player impact estimate

2016-17: 2.9ppg, 0.9 rpg, 0.3 bpg on 44% shooting, 15% from threes, +1.6 bpm, +6.6 net rating, 19.4 player impact estimate

2017-18(till 28/12/07): 4.4 ppg, 0.7 apg, 0.7 rpg, 0.5 bpg on 58% shooting, 55% from threes, +3.3 bpm, +28.1 net rating, 23.5 player impact estimate

In the last 2 years, it can be seen that he was pretty average in the clutch, but this season he has been shooting lights out and finally is looking like he can join the elite conversation.
