Not really. I'd rather get another big that can rebound and block shots. If Big Baby is the starter next to Duncan next season, it's difficult to imagine the defense improving too much ... especially if Bowen isn't on the team.
We don't need a big with a low post game, that's what Tim is there for.
We need a guy who isn't afraid to shoot and can knock down shots. Davis could fill this role.
Took a lot of shots to get it? He shot 50% in the playoffs averaging 15.8 PPG along the way. Yeah, talk about a volume shooter
Damn dude, if you aren't going to pay attention, then put down the keyboard and just scroll.

they won a le with him getting significant minutes in the frontcourt?

14.5 minutes in game 6, the 39 point blowout. DNP-CDs in games 1-5.
Who would have thought that by "big man" the Spurs meant width and not height.
Lets clarify:
1) He is not long nor a good defender
2) He has hit some big shots, but is a 37% jump shooter
3) He rebounds worse than Bonner
4) Blocks less shots than Bonner
5) Will likely command the full MLE
6) Does nothing to help Tim anchor the defense
That it?
Oh no.. I rather have Bonner.
7) No three-point range
He's a solid mid-range shooter. He didn't got lucky in the playoffs. He was hitting that elbow jumper quite consistently for the 2nd half of the season. His overall season numbers don't look good because he was missing at an alarming rate earlier in the season - at one point, his overall FG% was 20% or so; he was probably making 5% of his jumpers. But Doc kept asking him to take that shot, because he was making those jumpers in practices since last season and spent the entire Summer working on them and he finally put it together somewhen mid-season.
This was a very discussed issue among Celtics fans last season. It happened this way. He's now a reliable option to shoot from the mid-range.
You're wrong, it's absolutely true. He's great technique, he gets great leverage, he likes to get physical, he pushes guys out of their confort zone, he fights for position, he has the footwork to defend from behind,1/2 or 3/4. The only reason he's just good but not great or excellent is because he's too short and guys can always shoot over him.
Because he fits a role instead of a fantasy league. Spurs need someone who can get to spots on defense, set picks, and compete. Not someone who can put up a load of stats but is in reality, worthless. Gooden comes to mind. Gooden can best a bunch of other 4 men when it comes to scoring and rebounding, yet how many teams has he been on now after 8 years in the league and at 27 years of age? That's because he can't figure out rotations and how to do what is needed to do to free up a team's stars to win.
God, that is another aspect I completely forgot to look at. Spurs really needed to upgrade their defense.
RJ over Fin will help, but Baby - KT&Bowen?

No thanks Ill keep the keyboard forum nazi.
You need a big with a low post game when Duncan is out of the game to post up and keep 4 down a viable offensive play. The Spurs really hurt this year due to no post offense.
Davis is as has been said, a horrible rebounder as well and this team needs a tough gritty rebounder next to him, ala, Antonio McDyess.
Ah.....Nope! This won't work. First ass chewing could be suicidal.
my thoughts exactly, defense being better would be hard to imagine with BB in the start spot. I'm thinking Tim is "officially" moving to the center spot for this season (Yao will be out) and the Spurs are going mobile 4 who can shoot the 15'-18 footer consistently but not ruling out Camby just in case the Spurs are bluffing some folks. Not too surprised about Sheed, Spurs are up to something good or bad, hopefully excellent
He averaged 8.4 minutes in the Hawks series, never playing more than 20 minutes.
He averaged 6.28 minutes in the Cleveland series (got a DNP in game 7)
He averaged 4 minutes in the Detroit series. He received 3 DNPs and his highest total in minutes was 11 in game 4 (19 point loss).
Other than the ability to get to the spots he's supposed to and frustrate TD himself.
How'd Bonner's 50% regular season 3 point shooting vagina fare in the postseason?2) He has hit some big shots, but is a 37% jump shooter
BFD. Could Bonner have helped the C's push the Magic to a 7th game?3) He rebounds worse than Bonner
The difference is insignificant at best. And furthermore, if we want to harp on stats all day there are plenty of regular season warriors who wuss out come winning time.4) Blocks less shots than Bonner
Doesn't matter if the Spurs aren't set on finding a starting big via free agency.5) Will likely command the full MLE
See #1.
6) Does nothing to help Tim anchor the defense
davis shot close to 50% in the playoffs
dont get me wrong davis will be a of a guy to bring off the bench behind duncan
and a threat when we get to close games and we need a guy to score
he's young, and is said to be a hard worker
but i believe dejuan blair will be the same guy but with rebounding i dunno a blair and davis out there would be intersting IMO (not because there both fat)
Well all of the numbers to date show him being very "average" in jump shooting. You can look up season splits if you like to see if there was a major jump like you claimed in his %'s.
I have watched Boston a ton. He does have good feet for a heavy guy, but he is not a good defender. You are giving him too much credit for "pushing guys out of their comfort zone". The guys get to spots in most situations and like you said, they shoot over him.
Maybe the twitter dude is wrong. I'm not thrilled with Davis. Seems like we need some height out there.
Davis is a pick and roll guy. Gee, I can't see how someone with such a skill set would ever be successful with the likes of RJ, Manu, and Tony...
Anyway, if you care that much about 4down being viable with the second unit, throw it in to Dejuan. He balled guys his size and larger (including a clinic on Thabeet's seven foot ass) at Pitt.
You whine that you would rather have Dice now that we missed out on 'Sheed. Neither one of those guys was going to do any work on the low block, Duncan or not.
o c'mon folks, I don't believe this speculation . So this guy broke down the NEWS of Rasheed signing with the C's. It's merely speculation at this phase for baby tho.
I highly doubt the deal will go down
Fox Sports New England reported that Spurs are very close to a deal with G. Davis.
Well, me... Don't do it Pop!!!!!
