I said this in the first few pages of this thread. Dude has no post game. Can't draw double teams.

You can't be the best big in the game let alone an all-time great If you can't do that.
He can draw them, it's the scoring part he needs to figure out.

That's my biggest thing. He getting frustrated quickly and ok I understand that when Ish Smith and Toney Douglas were signed two weeks ago and are now his main PGs since Jrue is on minutes restriction. But his body language has sucked and I see no hunger. I've never seen him get so lackadaisical once games started to trend towards getting out of hand.
To be fair, the players surrounding AD are BEYYYYOND garbage. I don't think the pelicans could've done a WORSE job building around Davis. NO could've had Davis and Noel playing together right now. They took fukking Austin Rivers with the #10 pick. They draft Nerlens and traded him to Philly. Just completely fukking asinine. I can't really blame him for being disillusioned with the franchise if that's indeed what is going on. :francis:

Towns at 19 BY FAR > Davis at 19. nikka is a much more skilled player. I'll let yall cook though, Davis will be great but Towns will be convincingly better:yeshrug:
This is true. Towns just doesn't have the athleticism Davis has so I doubt he has the same upside. But 19 year old towns is a better player tha 19 year old Davis. Way more skilled

I gotta disagree on the athletic tip bro. Towns is much bigger so it's gone show more for Davis but Towns is ELITE athletically. Have u seen how fast that nikka blows psst his man from the elbow? I have NEVER seen a center move like that.

nikka has guard skills from the triple threat, similar to Davis but much stronger and more skilled. I expect Towns to be in the convo for top 5 Center by next season. Most likely top 3

I said it before and I'll reiterate. The NBA now is weaker than it's ever been, at least on an individual level, players like AD and curry, and Harden are elite in this day and age but none would have the same success playing in the 2000s, to many great skilled players. But I'll let yall cook.

But if you really think AD would be a top 5 big man in the early to mid 2000s you a damn fool.

Towns is very smooth but he was not an athletic freak like Davis. However, Towns was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more athletic then anyone ever gave him credit for, because the knock on him was always that he wasn't overly athletic. Davis was a fukking freak of god damn nature. Towns is for sure more offensively skilled then Davis was at the same age.

Probably being pouty because he's not feeling Gentry's system.
I dunno breh. All of this is very uncharacteristic of Davis, whom for as long as I've watched him (from college to the league) has given nothing but 100% max effort 24/7 on the court, similar to Nerlens, he had an unstoppable motor, he must be seriously pissed off or disillusioned. I've never seen AD "pout" ever. I've seen Cousins pout, I've seen Terrence Jones pout, never Davis.

Brow has more length, Towns probably jumps higher than him as seen by his 37" vert at your UK Pro Day, but AD clearly has longer arms to make up for it.

Towns is heavier, AD is a little quicker laterally, from what I've seen Towns is probably a little faster in the open court. AD moves around the court much more fluid than Towns, who looks mechanical at times. Towns has that developing back to the basket game though, which could separate them in the future.

No it wasn't. :camby:

Maybe pacing wise, but players were better, more fundamental.

Tim Duncan got a head full of gray hair and still playing well :dead:

Kobe running around on one foot still putting up 20.:deadrose:
