Anthony Davis has 'bust' written on his forehead and will at best be a poor man's KG

Probably just trolling. Waiters isn't even on the same planet talent/production-wise compared to Davis.

Davis at his best will be Chris Bosh + better defense. That's a perennial All-Star and what you want from a #1 pick.

while anthony has been great, it has been interesting for me (as a pistons fan) to see that Drummond has been almost as good (accounting for the minutes discrepancy). Funny, since one was a franchise changing player (chad ford, i think, said he would trade anyone outside of lebron, durant and howard for him) while the other was considering a probable bust.

I don't know why people considered Drummond a probable bust. He's a 18 year old kid with the most smooth athleticism and raw strength of any Big in the league.

Once he was willing to go out there and give effort and learn, he likely was never going to be a bust.

his offense will never be as good as Bosh though so more like his best will be 2/3rds of Bosh on offense + a little more defense

He's what? 19? You don't know how good or how bad his offense will be.

Bosh in his rookie year was far different than what you saw 3-4 years later. He was very mechanical on offense. Davis looks really similar right now with some glimpses of a more varied offensive game.

Let me borrow your crystal ball.

Way too early to tell. Bigs take longer to develop and adapt to the NBA.

lol what's up with everyone calling him poor mans this, he's already a REALLY good defender, and just watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuvKpMHahNM I don't see him being limited on the offensive end, he's only 19

before the 2011 college season started the 2012 nba draft was to be known as the Drummon draft. There wasn't a single mock that didn't have him #1. Then he stunk in up at UConn and the rest is history
