Anthony Davis reminds me of Tim Duncan

[ducks]

Win player of the year, defensive player of the year, Final Four MOP along with your team winning the national championship... don't see how Davis could stay in school. Nothing left to prove, accomplished everything a college basketball player could aim for in his freshman year. He's projected as the #1 pick in the draft. And suggesting Duncan was "smart to stay four years" is an unfair comparison because college basketball is much different now than in the mid 90s. Not nearly as many freshmen and even sop res leaving for the draft. And I don't believe Wake Forest won a championship during that time. Davis will be the #1 pick in the draft, whether he's physically ready for the NBA and/or still not yet polished enough offensively, he has to go.

He'll gain some weight and get in the 240 range eventually. Seems like he has the shoulders and frame to carry more weight. I think there are a combination of NBA players he reminds me of. The Duncan comparison has more to do with personality and on court demeanor. His defensive game does have a lot of similarities to Camby. And his length/skills combination and probably ceiling does fit KG. I think he's legit. And I think he'll get stronger and will improve his offensive skill and will eventually become a star player in the NBA. Not sure if he'll be an uber superstar franchise player. But I expect really good things from him at the next level.

I concur w/ this

Davis looks like a really safe pick with lots of upside on top of that. His worst case (barring injury) looks like being a Noah type player. The big I'd be nervous as about drafting is Drummond. He looks dumber than a bag of hammers, he's Charmin soft, and where did his passing skills that were so hyped in his high school career go? I can't believe the guy doesn't have a post game yet when he already has a legit NBA bigman's body. I really hope the guy doesn't end up another Olowokandi, because he has the frame and athleticism of a Hall of Famer.

I'm not even saying that much. I'm saying he'll be another oober athletic guy who gets compared to KG and falls far short of those expectations. Not as bad as Brandan Wright or Anthony Randolph but those are examples of KG comparisons gone wrong.

tbh despite my knob slobbing last season I think Perry Jones will probably be the next Randolph. They were pretty much the same player in college in that they would make a handful of NBA-like plays a game but disappear for long stretches.

imho I think Ant Davis will be the next Joakim Noah

Let me say that I like Davis. I think he is the best prospect in this draft. Sure he is no Lebron, Howard heck maybe even Irving will prove to be a better #1 prospect. But as Jam said besides demeanor I do not see Duncan. But the good news he probably handles better at this age than Duncan did (Duncan really improved his passing and handles as he matured as a player) and obviously he is a better natural athlete.

My guess is he will be better offensively than Camby but not sure he will ever be as good on that end as KG in his prime. But he can definitely have a similar if not greater impact defensively.

Anthony Randolph

[Spurs da champs]

if he stays 4 years in college to develop an offensive game, maybe.

he'll be a HOF'er but based on D. he'll never have Duncan's offensive repertoire...

If he'll be one then Camby should be to. Such an idiot jumping to conclusions Camby got away with his no offense because he was super tall this guy is just 6'10 & like I said he'll get bullied like no other.
