Nopes.

Mellow was/is very strong with all kinds of hops and speed. He can overpower most pros that can stay with him speed wise, and go around guys that are strong. Mellow is much stronger than the 3 pros I mentioned, McGrady, Dirk, and Garnett.

Durant does not have near the athletic ability. But I think he has more skill. Like I said, the diff. between this kid and other really good college players is Durant has extremely long arms, and he is first and foremost a basketball player, not an great athlete.
