Nope, he could possibly be in the long run but I seriously doubt he will have a big impact especially considering the team he will be going to.

I think he will have a impact defensively, but the offense will take a while.

I don't think he is as good as Demarcus Cousins though

not as a scorer or rebounder but as a weakside defender he is. Id take blake over ad 10/10 times.

Nor does he have the muscle mass Blake had coming out of Oklahoma.

Yea. Blake can put up 20/10 but he hasn't shown he can make a impact on the w/l record. Davis got Callipari his first title.

Idk if hes better right now, but hes is without a doubt more skilled than Griffin. I'm not sure what you mean by immediate impact player, because Clippers still were awful in Blakes first full season, ending up with the 1st pick.

Davis has WAY more potential than Griffin IMO. Davis became so much better on the offensive end as the season went on than in the beginning out the season. He already has a better jumper than Griffin and will keep developing his post skills. Everyone knows Davis is a better defender, but I dont think he's that far behind on the offensive end. If I had to draft them both as rookies right now, I'd take Davis.

This ugly kid Davis is so overrated, people act like he's some superstar prospect who could potentially be an all time great when he's just a good defensive role player

it's silly that these clowns would say they'd take him over Blake Griffin coming out of college when Blake was dropping 23 and 14 while in school :boss:
