    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Texas basketball coach Rick Barnes said people who are making a big deal about Kevin Durant failing to bench press 185 pounds at the NBA Pre-Draft Camp in Orlando this week are missing the point.

    Durant, who is 6-9 and has a 7-5 wingspan, was the only player at the NBA Pre-Draft Camp who failed to bench 185 one time, according to several reports.

    "If people question his strength, they're stupid," Barnes said Tuesday. "If they are looking for weight lifters to come out of Texas, that's not what we're producing. There are a lot of guys who can bench press 300 pounds in the NBA who couldn't play dead in a cowboy movie. Kevin's the best player in the draft ? period, at any position." </div>
