[QUOTE]The Anthony Davis who concluded the 2013-14 season often overwhelmed opponents, including a 10-game stretch in March featuring averages of 29.8 points, 13.5 rebounds and 2.8 blocks. Now imagine that same player, but with noticeably more muscle

[Kukoc]

The future of the NBA

No wonder why he have the GOAT number 23

[lilteapot]

dude is gonna be scary for the rest of the league the next decade.

[beastee]

He will be top three in the league for a LONG time. Last year was just the beginning. Pelicans are 1 dude away from being really good.

[IGOTGAME]

If he grows 2 inches then he will be the best player in the league in 2-3 years.

[Cocaine80s]

Lol what's up with these 6'10 guys not wanting to be 7 feet?

[BlackVVaves]

Lol what's up with these 6'10 guys not wanting to be 7 feet?

Relics of KG exclaiming he was 6'12 not 7 feet def come to mind.

Hopefully, the Hornets don't waste away Davis' prime years like Minny did Garnett.

He's going to be so good, it's scary. I bet Cleveland would trade anything to swap this year's #1 pick with 2012's :(

[Nash]

Lol what's up with these 6'10 guys not wanting to be 7 feet?
cuz its weird

[D-Rose]

He will be a Top 3 player by the end of this coming season if healthy.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Probably still will be tbh

[ProfessorMurder]

KG called himself "6'11+" a few times.

[Rocketswin2013]

I'm guessing they feel less normal when they're 7+ feet..............

[Rubio2Gasol]

KG specifically wanted to play a bunch of different positions. He was afraid the 7ft tag would stick him at centre on both ends.

[alanLA92]

Davis. :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

[Im so nba'd out]

You get respect when your under 7 feet imo.A 7 footer should dominate so when they do its not as impressive maybe he thinks like me.

It still shocks me how ignorant nba players are about muscle gain. 8 pounds of muscle added Lmao. No. Just no. It's 1-2 pounds of muscle 6 pounds of water weight and fat. Muscle building is a very slow process. At most a person can add 3-5 pounds of muscle per year. That's with perfect nutrtion and a steady workout plan.

You didn't mention 'roids. It's 6 pounds of muscle brah. :oldlol:

[Meticode]

Good for him. I don't think he should get over the 245 area. He's a PF naturally and needs to me mobile. 235 to 245 is perfect in-my-opinion.

its still functional weight and it will help him on the court. btw, i've seen guys really bulk up in a short periods of time. like increases bench 100+ pounds in 5 months and gaining 15 pounds while keeping close to the same body fat percentage. I only know this because we had testing before every season and it included maxes and body fat percentage. Maybe it was water weight tho, all i know is that the 15 pounds and the strength really mattered.

You don't think NBA players have perfect nutrition and a more than steady workout plan? :lol

8 pounds since the beginning of last season :hammerhead:

6'10" isn't a size you should prefer as a PF if you have the potential to grow.. He's going to want the versatility to play center down the road when needed, like TD and KG have done. Unless he grows to 7'3"+ and becomes substantially less mobile, an inch or two is only going to help him. 6'11.5" would be the perfect height to go with his 7'6" wingspan, and he should shoot for 245-250. Keeps him explosive and quick, but gives him 15-20 more pounds of muscle than he started out with to help him in the post.

The kid is going to wreck the league in a few years. 21/10/2/3/1 on 50%+ shooting at 20-21 years old, holy shit. He's on pace to be better than KG.
