#1 Taking up defensive responsibilities
Durant is one of the best athletes in the NBA, and has grown a couple of inches since he joined the league. Registered as 6'9", the small forward has definitely helped overcome the loss of Andrew Bogut and Harrison Barnes.
His ability to protect the rim and fight for rebounds, apart from guarding the opposition's best player on many occasions (LeBron James in the Finals), has helped the Warriors play multiple line-ups, with some of them featuring him at the centre position, maximising their ability to get stops and get out and play in transition.
