Anthony Davis will be the only player this season who will average a 20/10

[no pun intended]

I believe.

[FatComputerNerd]

I believe.

Kevin Love? (empty stats or not)

Also probably Blake, and I'm sure there are a few more.

[Johnny Jones]

and most likely 2 blocks and 1 steal to go along with it... this kid is ridiculous.

[DuMa]

Fail. Dwight, Love and Blake are capable 20/10 threats.

[no pun intended]

Kevin Love? (empty stats or not)

Oh forgot about Kevin Love.

I don't think Blake will, especially as DJ will get a much larger role this season.

Another impressive thing about Davis is his blocking. This nygga not only protects the rim, he also blocks freakin jumpshots. :bowdown:

[outbreak]

won't be the only one, but he will be a beast!

Lee won't if Bogut plays a decent amount.

Blake won't.

Vucevic won't. (close though)

Love and Davis will.

Dwight might.

[poido123]

Have him in a couple of my fantasy teams...

I predict he will be top 10 by end of the year if he stays healthy. :rockon:

[andremiller07]

Al Jefferson could have a good shot to get 20/10 this year

[Suguru101]

Why are people disrespecting Kevin Love like this?

It isn't like he has knee problems or something, he had a freak accident and broke his hand. That's it.

He'll come back, he will be much improved by his experience in the Olympics under Coach K and his maturity level and leadership will also be improved.

I expect 23 and 13. No less.

[All Net]

Kevin Love and Dwight are locks.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Davis is gonna be the best PF in the game this season if he can stay healthy.

[Meticode]

Al Jefferson has a career year this season.

[poido123]

Glad to see some awesome athletic centres coming through in the league...

Davis and Drummond are the future of our league :rockon:

[Fiasco]

The overrating of Davis is reaching Blake levels.

[longtime lurker]

What makes anyone think that with Holiday, Evans, Gordon and Ryan Anderson he'll put up enough shots to get to 20 and 10? That guy will be Al Jefferson as someone else mentioned.

[MiseryCityTexas]

he was putting up 20 and 10 type numbers last season before the injury.

[senelcoolidge]

Davis should get about 8 rpg. Why is this guy becoming sooo overrated?

[East_Stone_Ya]

with addition of Tyreke and Holiday he will get less touches on offense. So he will probably not average 20 ppg imo. Should top the 10 rpg mark though

[Johnny Jones]

How is he overrated? Please explain. Thank you.

Is it because he averaged 13/8 his rookie year? Well he did that in 29 minutes. He also averaged 16/10 in 32 minutes his last 19 games.

I would like a detailed paragraph about how is he overrated. Should be good. :lol

actuallg monty is running the offenss through davis this year.

[East_Stone_Ya]

actuallg monty is running the offenss through davis this year.

really? I thought it would be through Eric Gordon

[BoutPractice]

It's in NO's long term best interest to get Anthony Davis accustomed to more offensive responsibilities as early as possible. He's their future franchise player and their best hope to be a respected team in the long run. Gordon is really good (one of the best SGs in a weak SG era) but Davis has the potential to be irreplaceable.

How many bigs today can defend, block shots, rebound... AND also have an amazing touch around the basket, a midrange jumper (with range potentially extending to the 3 pointer in the long run), great free throw form, the ability to put the ball on the floor, and a tantalizing hook shot? In short, how many anchor-finishers? He's even shown glimpses of being able to create his own shot... the talent is certainly there, it's just a question of whether he's allowed to develop that side of his game. If he does, forget about it, we've got the new best PF in the league (although it's also a relatively weak PF era compared to the Duncan/Dirk/KG golden age). I'm higher on him than on Love and Griffin... I think that unlike them he can be the centerpiece of a high-caliber playoff team.

:applause:

Agree with everything that you said.

Good observation on the Love and Griffin comparison, Davis simply has more tools to work with and more talent than those two. He will be the best PF in the game in the next few years, unless another talented big comes through the draft.

[BoutPractice]

Blake is a great PF as well... he just got too famous too quick, so people now hate him. (The flopping doesn't help, of course).

However, it's undeniable that AD has a higher ceiling on paper than any young PF. And even if he doesn't put it together, he'll still be a major contributor.

Unless he gets injured he could have anything from a Rasheed Wallace type career (could've been a superstar, was only very, very good) to a KG, with say, Jermaine O'Neal in between (not talking about games, but degree of success).

[alenleomessi]

he had a good preseason and suddenly he is the best PF in the nba and the only guy who can average 20/10


with gordon, holiday and reke on the team there is no way in hell he averages 20/10... the only way i see it if these players get injured and the team starts sucking... which love and blake already did, so its not impressive... impressive is 20/10 on a championship contender

[wally_world]

No he wont. Other than Love I dont see anyone else getting 20-10 next season.

[SpurrDurr]

Davis will get really close to average 20/10 but he won't imo. It not easy averaging 20+ ppg especially when you are 21 years old, and on his team there are sever players that can easily end up having 15+ ppg seasons.

Also Love won't either, Pekovic won't give up many rebounds.

Howard is pretty much the only one that will accomplish it most likely.

[stax]

Al Jefferson could have a good shot to get 20/10 this year


Al Jefferson has a career year this season.

he' averaging 31 per 36 this preseason. :eek:

Who Davis? Last year Gordon was always out due injuries while Holiday and Evans weren't on the team.

[Fiasco]

Except Davis can actually play.

Yeah, you average 20/10 in your career by not being able to play.

2013 babies.

[aj1987]

CP3 and Deron might have a chance with assists.

[Johnny Jones]

Yeah, you average 20/10 in your career by not being able to play.

Explain how Davis is overrated then. I'll wait.

[andremiller07]

I wonder also if Al Horford will go for 20/10 this year he's another with a good shot imo.

[scm5]

Explain how Davis is overrated then. I'll wait.

I think he's referring to Davis' injuries.

[Johnny Jones]

I think he's referring to Davis' injuries.
If he is, then that's really stupid. AD was playing at weight of 210 last year and he was constantly abused by the more powerful bigs (i.e Cousins,Gasol,Howard,etc) and a lot of his injuries were just shitty luck, like the concussion that Rivers gave him. He's now playing at a weight of 230. Obviously that's not huge but he wont be abused/pushed around as much.

But here is thatguy's orignal post in this thread:


The overrating of Davis is reaching Blake levels.
No mention of injuries.

[Fiasco]

Explain how Davis is overrated then. I'll wait.

Did you completely miss the title of this thread?

[Suckafree]

People keep saying how the guards in the team are going to take all the shots, sure they may end up taking shots from AD but check this out...

Eric Gordon: .402%
Jrue Holiday: .431%
Austin Rivers: .372%
Brian Roberts: .412%
Ryan Anderson: .423%

That looks like a whole bunch of rebounds to me. AD is monster on the offensive glass, he's gunna have like 3-4 buckets just off of putbacks per game So theres 6-8 points. Throw in lets say 4 free throws a game, that gets him up to around 10-12ppg already without him even generating his own offense.

And so far this pre season he looks like he has been moving well off the ball as well as taking the bigger guys marking him of the dribble from the perimeter.

Now I'm not saying he's gunna get 3-4 buckets off his own offense this season, but it just feels like it's well within the realms of possibilities for him with the makeup of the current squad.

[JohnRuck]

This kid is something special.

What amazes me is how high his floor is. His ceiling is mind boggling.

He does a little bit of everything and shoots the FT well for his size.

[RoseCity07]

I don't know about that. I think he's going to get doubled more than ever. Teams are going to make him give the ball up and try to make the others guy step up. He's got the talent to score the 20 ppg but I'm not sure he can do it on that team.

[Aussie Dunker]

A couple of sleepers no one has mentioned who have the ability to post 20/10,

Cousins (I think he will)
Aldridge (Think he will go 24/9 and fall just shy)
Pau (No Bynum, no Dwight, let see what he has left in the tank)
Randolph (outside chance as he should eclipse 10 rebounds, depends how many shots he can put up)

Brook Lopez should be, but he is so damn soft he wont come close...

A healthy Bynum perhaps?

[TheReturn]

Yeah, you average 20/10 in your career by not being able to play.

2013 babies.
I was here way before 2013 but that's alright. You know what I mean. Blake's jumper is broken and he has terrible footwork. He's a monster athlete and has pretty good touch, but there's too many holes in his game.

Cousins and Pau I say yes. Aldridge doesn't rebound that much, and Randolph doesn't regularly score that much any more.
Bosh has a shot if either Wade or Lebron misses significant time.
Ibaka has an outside chance, since he'll (again) be asked to shoulder more of a scoring load.

[The JKidd Kid]

Al Jefferson, Kevin Love, Dwight Howard will all do it, with sleepers Al Horford, Lamarcus Aldridge, Zach Randolph, Cousins and Brook Lopez(extreme sleeper).

I know you said extreme sleeper but no way Brook Lopez is averaging 20 and 10 with KG and Reggie Evans on his team. :lol

[The JKidd Kid]

He's easily gonna get the 20 and who knows, maybe KG will whoop his soft ass into a decent rebounder. :lol

[BoutPractice]

There don't seem to be any highlights of AD's 29 point game. I'd be interested to see how he got them.

[TheReturn]

[Johnny Jones]

There was no video crew at the game. But by listening to radio it seemed like he had a lot of drives to the hoop with some jumpshots mixed in.

[no pun intended]

Fail. Dwight, Love and Blake are capable 20/10 threats.
My bad.

23/11 were his stats last year.

People really need to let go of the Aldridge doesn't rebound myth. He's improved a lot.
