Thunder 2010-11 season report card

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook earn ‘As'; Team's draft, coaching and defensive stoppers get ‘Cs' according to Berry Tramel's year-end report card.

Kevin Durant: A. Strange but true. Durant's numbers this season were down, virtually across the board. Scoring from 30.1 to 27.7. Rebounding from 7.6 to 6.8. Assists from 2.8 to 2.7. Blocked shots from 1.02 to 0.97. Steals from 1.4 to 1.1. Field-goal percentage from .476 to .462. Three-point percentage from .365 to .350. Foul shooting from .900 to .880. So why the high grade? Durant's leadership was exemplary, from accepting responsibility for critical defeats to accepting Westbrook as a fellow star.
