Freak of Nature: Anthony Davis Will Be Bigger, Stronger and Better Next Season

By Adam Fromal (http://bleacherreport.com/users/331034-adam-fromal), National NBA Featured Columnist June 21, 2014

Anthony Davis is not fair.
The big man began the 2013-14 season at 6'10", 220 pounds and proceeded to thoroughly dominate the league, both before and after his 21st birthday. Yes, despite averaging 20.8 points, 10.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.3 steals and an NBA (http://bleacherreport.com/nba)-high 2.8 blocks per game, he still gained the ability to enjoy the full extent of Bourbon Street's appeal near the end of the campaign.

Now, he's going to be bigger, stronger and better.
"I’m up to 238 right now. It’s all muscle, and that’s what I need," the unibrowed New Orleans Pelican told radio broadcaster Sean Kelley during an interview that will air Monday on Pelicans.com, as relayed by NBA.com (http://www.nba.com/pelicans/news/anthony-davis-238-pounds-may-still-be-growing-6-10).
"I want to get stronger, so that when I post up, it’s a lot easier for me," continued Davis. "I think it’s going to translate to the season, just my mentality, knowing that I’m a lot stronger and a lot better. It’s going to make me more aggressive."
But is it only muscle weight that he's adding? Nope.
After revealing that he might not be "only" 6'10" anymore, Davis was asked about whether he was still growing vertically.
"I hope not," he explained. "I don’t want to be seven feet. It just (sounds) weird, to be a 7-footer. I’d like to be 6'10", but if I grow, you can’t really do anything about it. You can’t help it."

http://img.bleacherreport.net/img/article/media_slots/photos/001/598/715/hi-res-cb037cfafb6d0052bbe245a1861b41f6_crop_exact.jpg?w= 650&h=440&q=85

Talk about a problem that half the NBA would like to be experiencing. This is sort of like Tim Duncan playing center but insisting that he's listed as a power forward throughout his career or Kevin Garnett (http://bleacherreport.com/kevin-garnett) checking in at 6'11" even though he routinely looks to be about an inch taller than legitimate 7-footers.
Davis, just like KG, could very well hit that 7'0" mark but still be listed a few inches shy.
Oh, and he's working on his jumper:
I’m definitely working on the corner three-pointer. (Also) more post moves, a consistent mid-range jump shot, ball-handling. Those are the things I’m working on right now to get better. But at the same time, touching up on the things I’m pretty good at.

Again, Davis is not fair.
During his second season in the league, he made his first All-Star squad and earned the No. 5 spot in my NBA 200 rankings (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2027028-br-nba-200-ranking-nbas-best-players-of-2013-14-season/page/94), trailing only Stephen Curry (http://bleacherreport.com/stephen-curry), Chris Paul (http://bleacherreport.com/chris-paul), LeBron James and Kevin Durant (http://bleacherreport.com/kevin-durant). As Dan Favale wrote (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2015890-is-anthony-davis-the-best-franchise-building-block-in-the-nba) for Bleacher Report, "We know enough to understand that his ceiling two, three, five years into the future makes him, at worst, the NBA's second-best building block right now."

His lanky wingspan isn't going away. Neither are his incredible knack for defensive play, terrifying traps out on the perimeter, positional versatility, jaw-dropping athleticism, ability to switch onto virtually any offensive player and developing mid-range game.

And now you're telling me that he's getting bigger, stronger and more skilled?
Say hello to a legitimate MVP candidate

LeBron is in his prime, and in 2-3 years will be leaving it.

Durant is definitely in his prime, but has some pretty sizable holes in his game.

Both are undoubtedly better players than AD right now, but he's 21 and already the best big in the game. 21 year old incredibly skilled two way big men without a long line of injuries in their career are so rare. Look at Embiid already. Davis could realistically be the cornerstone of a franchise until 2030. Durant may NEVER get to the point where he's capable of leading a team. He needs to bulk up, get a post game, and become a consistently better defender. The Spurs torched him this post-season and he got massively exposed by defensive guards with length on offense, and without having Ibaka to cover his mistakes on D.

New Orleans Pelicans' Anthony Davis' Team USA's "main guy" says coach Mike Krzyzewski

Las Vegas – While New Orleans Pelicans (http://www.nola.com/pelicans/) coach Monty Williams doesn't have to play Anthony Davis (http://www.nola.com/pelicans/index.ssf/2014/07/new_orleans_pelicans_power_for_1.html) in the post this season, now that the team has acquired center Omer Asik, that doesn't mean Davis won't get his fill of the five spot for Team USA.

Davis has been working against Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins on the floor of the Mendenhall Center here this week as the U.S. team attempts to identify its interior personality after multiple defections depleted its inside presence.

"I don't know what they're trying to do; I'm just trying to play," Davis said, "trying to help make everyone else better, whether it's having to defend me, or making a run, whatever the case may be.

"DeMarcus is a great player, along with the other bigs who are here. I'm just trying to battle, make sure we compete against each other and try to make each other better."
Davis is one of three players in training camp here this week who were members of the gold-medal wining 2012 Olympic Team joining Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant and Houston's James Harden.

Because of Davis' ascending talent, and his international experience, there's little doubt that he'll be part of the final 12-man roster that will defend the Americans' current World Cup title next month in Madrid.
Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski doesn't attempt to camouflage his intentions for Davis this summer.
"We're going to have to have active bigs," Krzyzewski said. "Our main guy is Anthony Davis."
Cousins and Detroit's Andre Drummond are the only true centers on the Team USA roster at this point.
His combustible personality makes Cousins unattractive at times, but there's no denying his ability to control the paint.
"We have to see who else fits in," Krzyzewski said, "but also how they fit in with the other guys. (Cousins) has continued to get into better shape. We love the fact that he's committed. He's trying like crazy. He's come into (training camps) multiple times. That level of commitment is just not to be admired. It needs to be talked about."

Tonight, Anthony Davis (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/6583/anthony-davis) and LeBron James (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/1966/lebron-james) will meet in Cleveland, when Davis' New Orleans Pelicans (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/no/new-orleans-pelicans) face James' Cleveland Cavaliers (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/cle/cleveland-cavaliers). That might not be the last time their paths intersect in the near future, and not only in terms of the return matchup Dec. 12 in the Big Easy.

As both players age, it's seemingly inevitable that Davis will catch James

Anthony Davis leads NBA’s MVP race

Neil Greenberg (http://www.washingtonpost.com/people/neil-greenberg) November 18



http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=http://img.washingtonpost.com/news/fancy-stats/wp-content/uploads/sites/28/2014/11/10_10_25_66CAPC37K5.jpg&w=1484
(Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports)

It’s never to early to start talking about who should be the most valuable player in the NBA. It’s also never too early to start arguing what it means to be most valuable, because what determines value is not clearly defined in the award’s mandate. Since these are objective rankings, the narrative around the player will be ignored and we will instead focus on how a player’s contributions to his team will impact the voting.

For example, a quick look at previous MVP winners since 1979 (http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/psl_finder.cgi?request=1&match=single&per_minute_base=36&per_poss_base=100&type=advanced&lg_id=NBA&is_playoffs=N&year_min=1980&year_max=2014&franch_id=&season_start=1&season_end=-1&age_min=0&age_max=99&height_min=0&height_max=99&shoot_hand=&birth_country_is=Y&birth_country=&birth_state=&college_id=&is_active=&debut_yr_nba_start=&debut_yr_nba_end=&debut_yr_aba_start=&debut_yr_aba_end=&is_hof=&is_as=&as_comp=gt&as_val=&award=mvp&pos_is_g=Y&pos_is_gf=Y&pos_is_f=Y&pos_is_fg=Y&pos_is_fc=Y&pos_is_c=Y&pos_is_cf=Y&qual=&c1stat=&c1comp=gt&c1val=&c2stat=&c2comp=gt&c2val=&c3stat=&c3comp=gt&c3val=&c4stat=&c4comp=gt&c4val=&c5stat=&c5comp=gt&c6mult=1.0&c6stat=&order_by=vorp#stats::25) shows that all but one, Allen Iverson (http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/i/iversal01.html), won the award while producing more than 0.200 win shares per 48 minutes. Win Shares (http://www.basketball-reference.com/about/ws.html) are an estimate of the number of wins contributed by a player – the league average hovers around 0.100 and higher is better. This threshold eliminates New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony, who is producing just 0.103 win shares per 48 minutes of play.
We can also eliminate any player with a Player Efficiency Rating (http://www.basketball-reference.com/about/per.html) — a measure of per-minute production standardized such that the league average is 15 — less than 22 since Steve Nash set that lower limit with his MVP award at the conclusion of the 2004-05 season.
And finally, a player has to be an active part of the team’s possessions, as measured by usage percentage (http://www.basketball-reference.com/about/glossary.html), an estimate of the percentage of team plays used by a player while he was on the floor. The minimums were again set by Nash, who was used in just 20.5 percent of the Suns’ plays during the 2004-05 season.
Now that we have a short list of players, we can start to narrow down the list of eligible candidates to the five most deserving.

1. Anthony Davis, New Orleans Pelicans

Through the early part of this season, Davis leads the league in win shares (2.4) and is averaging 0.353 win shares per 48 minutes. Plus, he has a true shooting percentage of 61.8 percent and has been a force inside the paint.
http://img.washingtonpost.com/news/fancy-stats/wp-content/uploads/sites/28/2014/11/Shotchart_1416334291052.png Anthony Davis shot chart, 2014-15 regular season

Defensively, he has helped the Pelicans hold opponents to 95 points per 100 possessions and is blocking four shots per game, including these two in two seconds against Portland.

He is also getting his name mentioned in some esteemed company:
Anthony Davis has got now, not next. His PER is 37.11. Wilt's best: 31.82. Jordan's best: 31.71. LeBron's best: 31.67




2. James Harden, Houston Rockets

There has never been a question that Harden could score – he averaged 23.1 points and 6.7 assists per game last season — but this year he has improved the defensive part of his game, and that has taken him to another level.



Harden also ranks second in the NBA for win shares with 2.1 and fourth in value over replacement (http://www.sports-reference.com/blog/2014/10/introducing-box-plusminus-bpm-2/) (6.4).


3. Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors

Here is where Curry, ranks for some of the more familiar stats (http://stats.nba.com/leaders/?ls=iref:nba:gnav):


24.8 points per game: fourth
7.7 assists per game: fifth
2.3 steals per game: third

He is also hitting from beyond the three-point arc, where he is shooting 39.7 percent.

Curry is also in the top ten for points created by assist per game (http://stats.nba.com/tracking/#!/player/passing/) (17.7) on 59.3 passes per game.


4. Damian Lillard, Portland Trail Blazers

Lillard was named Western Conference player of the week and is averaging 20.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game this season. His 35 three-pointers made lead the league and he is third in value over replacement (http://www.sports-reference.com/blog/2014/10/introducing-box-plusminus-bpm-2/) (7.2).

he's incredible.

whats hilarious to me is that he is still very raw as a scorer, but is able to score with ease

I feel like I'm more impressed with him than I was with Lebron or durant when they were on the rise. Not to say he's definitely better than a young Lebron, but it's just ridiculous how dominant he is considering how much better he could get offensively. Finger crossed this guy stays healthy, the league is gonna be his soon.

I don't think Davis is that raw. He was one of the most talented offensive prospects I had ever seen in high school, but Calipari used him like he was Marcus Camby. I knew he was going to be a way better pro than college player when he'd have a chance to call his own number more. This dude was a guard for years until he hit a massive growth spurt junior year of HS. I was so pissed I drafted Gilchrist over him for a keepers fantasy league in their junior years of high school (MKG was the top rated prospect at the time), because by senior season it was obvious Davis was head and shoulders over everyone, even Drummond.

Yep, only concern I had about him heading into the season..

When you compare him to the other great bigs that he's often put in the same convo with(Duncan, Garnett, etc), he's extremely fragile, tbh..
