Will Durant average 30 points per game in the new season? The former Rockets coach gives his prediction! The 37-year-old superstar is aiming for MVP

The Houston Rockets are rebuilding too fast. In just 4 years, the Rockets went from second to last in the league to second in the Western Conference. You know, the last time the Rockets reached the playoffs, they relied on the dual-core leadership of Harden and Westbrook, and that was in 2020. The Rockets 5 years ago were indeed the top team in the league, but they were defeated by the Lakers in the playoffs, which directly led to Westbrook leaving the Wizards, and Harden also actively requested a trade.

In the end, the Rockets sent him to the Nets in exchange for several players whose contracts had expired and some draft picks, which also provided the Rockets with more chips for reconstruction. The current Rockets have basically been successfully rebuilt, and they were even one of the contenders for the championship last season. Unfortunately, due to too little experience, the Rockets were eliminated by the Warriors in the playoffs.

It is indeed a big regret that the Rockets failed to get past the first round. But in the regular season, the Rockets' record in the Western Conference was second only to the Thunder, ranking second in the Western Conference. In the new season, the Rockets obviously want to reload. They traded Jaylen Green, Dillon Brooks and multiple draft picks for superstar Kevin Durant.

Durant is not a super scorer among the Rockets. Uduka hinted that the Rockets will still play team basketball in the new season and will not let Durant rack up points as he pleases. However, there are also people who hold different views, such as former Rockets main point guard John Wall. Although Wall has now retired, he still pays attention to his old team, the Rockets.

After Harden left, Wall became the main point guard of the Rockets. The record he led the team at that time was indeed not very good, but the main goal of the Rockets at that time was to mess up, not to win. The core players of the Rockets at that time were Wall and Wood. Now, coach Silas has been out of class for two years, and the Rockets have also changed their core to Shen Jing, Amen Thompson and Durant. So what does Wall think of the Rockets' prospects in the new season?

Wall and the famous NBA reporter Heinis talked about the Rockets and Durant in a program. He believes that Durant should average more than 25 points per game. Wall said: "Durant can average 28 to 30 points per game in the new season." He feels that Durant can find out what went wrong with him in the Suns. He knows that he is still the top Durant, so in Wall's view, Durant can average 28 to 30 points per game in the new season.

The famous journalist Heinis also said that he also thinks this is the case. For Durant, this is a brand new situation. He has arrived in a new team and is still the first choice on the offensive end, so Haynes also believes that Durant can average more than 25 points per game.

There have been many predictions before that Durant may not necessarily become a contender for the MVP award in the new season. However, looking at it now, if the Rockets' record remains in the top 4 in the Western Conference and Durant can average 28 to 30 points per game, then he will still be one of the biggest contenders for the MVP award in the league in the new season.

Because the MVP selection depends not only on a player's team record and performance, but also on whether a player's personal data is gorgeous. Just like when Westbrook averaged a triple-double per game, he became the MVP without any controversy. Now, if Durant can average 28 to 30 points per game, and the Rockets' record remains at the forefront of the Western Conference, then Durant will definitely be one of the players most likely to become MVP in the Western Conference.
