NBA: Top 5 Current Players Who Could Post A 5X5

2017 NBA Finals - Game One
Only one of these two players make this list. Who would it be?

#2 Kevin Durant

Golden State Warriors v Charlotte Hornets
Kevin Durant

The 2013-14 regular season MVP Kevin Durant has morphed into the league's biggest two-way threat based on the evidence we have this season - he is second in the league in blocks per game while putting up nightly numbers of 25.6 ppg, 6.8 rpg and 5.3 apg, playing alongside three other perennial All-Stars.

He is also one of the few players who can guard any opposition player - his lanky 7-footed frame with a wingspan of 7'5" can put the world's best shooters in a spot of bother any time he switches onto them.

The Slim Reaper got his first triple-double of the season against Hornets this week, benefiting statistically with Steph Curry sidelined for over a fortnight. On his next outing against the Pistons, KD went off for 36 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 blocks - he even threw in a steal for good measure.

Judging by how close he came to a five-by-five there, and given the fact that he has at least half a decade more at his prime, KD is probably an odds-on favorite to become the next player to record a five-by-five.
