If you had to build a franchise around one NBA player who would it be?

[Consumed]

When you say his FLOOR is David Robinson you're either overrating Davis or underrating The Admiral.

Thats obvious hyperbole, but should Davis continue to progress as he has in each season of his career it's rather likely that he will reach (if not surpass) peak Robinson. They are alike in so many ways except AD is 22 years old which is even younger than D Rob when he entered the league. Sharpened defensive IQ and more comfort with his back to the basket (which he displayed in the Warriors series) should be expected growth for a guy who was already arguably the best player in the league this season, and that's enough reason for me to use Robinson as a floor projection rather than ceiling

Anthony Davis is 22 and just getting better. Lebron for the short term tho

 

[Shogun]

Bron gettin you to the finals, at least

 

[Bledswole]

Look at the age difference. Is it so bad to take a young Davis who already is a superstar over a declining bron? Just depends if you want to win now or not. Even though you still could win with davis in this scenario.

We talking about possibly the best player ever someday,Davis will be good but he won't be in that same breath. And a declining Bron is still by far the best player in the world,don't think we'd be able to say the same about Davis.

I agree Bron is still the best but that gap is closing fast. And look at Davis game at such a young age He has to have next

AD

Right Now.... Brow (move him to the East though ), then Bron (due to his age).

edit: Top poll getters.

The result of your reasoning is shyt breh.

Due to the fact Bron is closer to the end than the beginning I'm going with KD. I'm hiring the whole Suns medical staff and I'm not concerned about the foot...KD is young and an efficient scorer all over the court...

Damn Carmelo can't get not props

Jo Jo still has a great chance at being the best player in the league one day.

I definitely agree but I can't take a big with his problems with my top pick with all these other stars available. Somebody would get lucky and find a steal
