Durant is the only freshman to have won Player of the Year honors (several of them, in fact) in NCAA history. He is an offensive threat from anywhere on the court, both in the post and from the perimeter. Entering his rookie season in 2007-08, there were a lot of high expectations for the youngster, which could be looked at as unfair, but if anyone had the talent to live up to expectations, it was Durant... and his Rookie of the Year award proved that.
