Durant was the exception, not the rule.

I think the conception that he projects as a three was because he played a wing in high school, not because he isn't a stiff. On offense he will play more of a wing (3/4) style, because that is his strength, but on defense he will most likely end up playing the 4/5 due to his size. Bo has never been one to force a player to change their style on offense, and I don't see him starting that now.
