Has Davis played a full season yet?

Duncan easily. People always forget that along with a player comes their at ude, some players give up and jump ship, others choke in high pressure situations. Duncan is a proven winner that has stayed with his franchise, been an defensive/offensive anchor his entire career, consistent, 0 drama type super star which is rare.
Anybody that chooses KD is an idiot, it's obvious he's a product of their system, the guy doesn't have to play defense with WB and Ibaka (their true defensive MVP).
If you're talking "build" a franchise? Not necessarily. LeBron is 29, with 11 years in the NBA and a ton of miles the last four years. Davis is 21. I'd go AD at this point. LeBron gives you a 3 maybe 4 year window before his athleticism goes into the toilet, HGH or no HGH.
That's why you remove Westbrook from the equation so he can be alpha. Durant has unlimited range and a long wingspan to defend from 1-5. I'm not going to pass that up. LeBron has too, I know, but he's turning 30 in December.
Duncan is 38 years old lol. He'd be jumping ship in 1-2 years to go retire and spend time with his kids.
Damn, I was hyping Anthony Davis early last year, but he's becoming pretty overrated, tbh..
Great, great player on the court, despite playing for one of the worst coaches in the league and with on-court cancers(Evans, Gordon), but he can't stay on the court..
He hasn't even played 68 games in a season yet, nor has he played over 35 MPG..durability is a huge factor in being a superstar player, especially early in your career when you're playing with mediocre supporting casts that need you to carry them to the playoffs..
Sorry, A LEGIT 20/10 at age 20 can never be considered overrated. His PER of 26.5 was higher than ALL BUT ONE season of Kobe Bryant's career.
Meh, Kobe and Efficiency haven't been acquainted in a long long time.
I'm not talking recent. I'm talking one season, EVER, that Kobe had a PER higher than 26.5.
I'm on board with your point, but Jordan never had a season under 25 until he went to the Wizards. My point was just that Kobe isn't efficient for the numbers he puts up. Davis is a monster. I'm unsure how people are questioning his durability when he broke his finger, which is a freak injury, and got shut down later so they could tank.
I love Tim Duncan, but it has to be between Kevin Durant or Anthony Davis. Sorry Lebron.
Might want to do a recount of this poll now with Durant's killer injury.
