Why Antony Davis Is Destined to Be Even Bigger Than Tim Duncan
Even with the LeBron James-like expectations set forth for the rookie season of Anthony Davis, life in the NBA wasn't supposed to be this easy for the former one-and-done Kentucky star.
Consider the odds stacked against him.
Davis entered a New Orleans Hornets franchise in disarray. The team was fewer than 12 months removed from the departure of perhaps the top player in franchise history, a still-in-his-prime Chris Paul. The team's current best player, Eric Gordon, has yet to play a single minute in the 2012-13 season due to a lingering knee injury which Gordon and team doctors have said involves no structural damage (according to Jeff Duncan of The Times-Picayune).
Although injuries have limited Davis to just six of the team's first 10 games, the 19-year-old power forward has already proven worthy of that elevated draft stock. Davis' 26.4 player efficiency rating puts him ahead of any player's aged 20 or younger season in more than 30 years (according to espn.com's Justin Havens).
The sample size couldn't be any smaller. Then again, the sample itself couldn't be more impressive.
Davis ranks among the top two Hornets' rotation players in scoring (16.0 points per game, second), rebounding (8.3, first), field-goal percentage (49.3, second) and blocks (2.2, first). He's using good footwork to guide his 220-lb. frame to efficient scoring inside the paint (56.6 percent). Not to mention that the midrange jumper he displayed with the Wildcats has yet to factor in his NBA success (5-of-16).
He has the size (6'10") to continue his post production throughout the season. But thanks to his handles and quickness, defenders can't just wait for him to move toward the basket. And his passing ability (thanks to his point guard past) forces help defenders to think twice about bringing the double-team.
His defensive abilities led to predraft comparisons to Marcus Camby and Kevin Garnett. Those may sound like unrealistic predictions, but his defensive numbers with Kentucky (4.7 blocks and 1.4 steals per game) would say otherwise.
Stretching his early production over the span of an 82-game season shouldn't be a problem for Davis given the comparable talents of his teammates. If he can simply stay on the floor, he'll remain the offensive and defensive focal points.
His biggest challenge will be finding a way to channel his abilities in to making his teammates better. Duncan's impact in his rookie season of 1997-98 (21.1 points and 11.9 rebounds) helped lead the Spurs to a 36-game regular season improvement over their previous season. Then again, the 21-year-old Duncan also had the help of a 32-year-old David Robinson.
Robin Lopez isn't exactly in Robinson's category. And Greivis Vasquez isn't quite Avery Johnson.
Davis needs some help if New Orleans hopes to turn around their 3-7 start. He needs a healthy, focused Gordon back on the floor. He needs Austin Rivers to find the maturity that draft scouts wondered if he ever would.
But New Orleans didn't draft Davis for what he could help them accomplish this season. Hornets GM Dell Demps was thinking big picture when he made Davis the first overall pick of the 2012 NBA Draft.
If these six games were just the preview of what the big man is capable of, his career has blockbuster potential.

son everyone outside of San Antonio knows that Malone was a better player than Duncan. according to Spur fan logic, Robert Horry is better than Jordan because he has more rings. that's the only argument you can use with Duncan vs Malone because in everything else Malone was better. Duncan was blessed to play on stacked teams his entire career and Malone was not.

Son i know you like to troll them Spurs fans, but Timmy's got the hardware to show even Kobe doesn't. Don't think it's appropriate to compare him to Horry's rings analogy.
BTW i could always count on Malone to choke in big games. He would always sh!t the bed come 4th quarter.

lol son Duncan is putting up better numbers than Davis this season at age 37. When Duncan was a rookie, he was putting up even better numbers than right now.
When Duncan was in his prime, he was dropping a quad-dub in the NBA finals and leading SA to 4 rings. Taking into account rings, trophies, winning percentage, and leadership, Duncan is the 7th or 8th greatest player in the history of the league. To compare a promising rookie to one of the most assured legacies of all time is laughable.

I continue to think that the Hornets drafted Rivers so that they can have good players and still get a high pick, and be absolutely loaded. They'll suck enough with him playing big minutes in the next few years to draft in the top 5 another few times, and then replace him with a competent guard and they can be dominant.

LOL when he wins 4 championships, 2 MVPS, 3 finals MVPS and record setting years of consective first team all NBA.
After two seasons Tim Duncan has:
Rookie of the Year
2x All-NBA First (!) Team (when was the last time a rookie made the First Team (Larry Bird)? Not even MJ did it)
1x Finals MVP
2x All-Defensive selections (1x Second Team, 1x First Team).
I doubt the Brow can even snag Rookie of the Year seeing as it favors scorers.

Yeah, but when you have an all-world big and the 2nd best player in the League, you're always just a piece or two away from contending. Good time to be a Pelicans fan.
Same thing will happen to them that happens to most small market teams. Their very small window will fade fast and the starts will leave. Exception to the rule is Duncan and SA.
Pelicans won't ever go anywhere as long as Omer Asik is their 2nd best player. Tyreke and Gordon are too inconsistent, Holiday and Anderson are too injury prone and everyone else are role players.
Duncan won with a bunch of either too old (Robinson) or too young (Parker, Manu, Capt Jack) inconsistent players in '03. AD is a beast that barring injuries will be an all-time great obviously, but he's going to have to have to pull off something ridiculous like Duncan did in '03 to be in his class tbh.
