Anthony Davis is underrated - Has top 10 all time potential

[StrongLurk]

Through 3 seasons - Age 22.

Averages 20/10 with 2.5 blocks and 1.5 steals on 53 percent shooting in only 33 mpg. Already over 80 percent free throw shooter which is major for a big man and has an elite midrange jump shot.

119 offensive rating/103 defensive rating. Leads the league in points rolling to the basket and 2nd in the league in defending jumpshots. Career PER of 26.6 - Topping out at 31.14 PER as of now with a chance to break the modern day per record.

If this dude gets out of New Orleans and gets an elite team around him with a solid coach, he is easily gonna get a couple championships and MVP's as long as he stays healthy.

I'm actually surprised at how good he is already, even with him coming into the league pretty hyped on. Most likely will be the best player in the league in 3 years at 24 years old. Same as Lebron did in 08-09.

lol at anthony davis being underrated

He's rated fine.

[BIG FURB]

How is Unibrow underrated? The kids a beast, everyone acknowledges this. Where do you see all this underrating?

If he was white and his name was Kevin Love he'd have "empty stats" and be ridiculed for being injured. Meanwhile, he's been surrounded with 10x the talent Love has and hasn't made the playoffs yet and somehow he's underrated. I think he's a future MVP but the double standard is comical.

Kevin Love's stats are empty because he plays on one half of the floor. AD dominates both.

Kinda this, but I'd take AD in a heartbeat over Love. Younger, more potential. But yeah, Love never played on a team as good as NO is right now.

[JohnnySic]

No he doesn't. People said the same about Dwight Howard. Give it a few years, the you can judge him correctly.

[imdaman99]

He is not underrated. He is already put in the top 5 by most people and you think that's underrating him? Where do you want him to be rated? As the best player in the NBA? There are people making threads about how crappy his teammates are everyday, all to defend the fact that AD might miss the playoffs. He is playing in the West, so I can understand him not making it. But I expect playoffs from him and his team next year.

Id take Davis all day too. But in Minny, Love literally didn't even have half the talent Davis has.

Empty stats // Stat whore

Injury prone

[BlakFrankWhite]

Mr.Empty stats can't lead his team to the playoffs over a crippled Thunder....

And people compare him to Tim f'ing Duncan??

[LAZERUSS]

Empty stats // Stat whore

Injury prone

Geez.

I guess he just will be another Kevin Garnett then. What a disgrace.

after 3 seasons, how does anthony davis have more potential than:

jordan
shaq
lebron
hakeem
magic
bird
duncan
kareem
ewing
drob
barkley
durant
(and so on)

All these guys showed much more than davis (skill, accolades, playoffs, mvps, rings) after 3 years... not to mention what they did afterwards.

Outside of Durant and Bron all those guys were much older after 3 years. AD is comparable to Durant and Bron after 3 seasons.

I guess AD is finally old enough to get irrational hate from stans. Soon he'll have his own stans, and will be getting hated on for not getting a ring. Then when he gets a ring, people will hate on him for not having 3 rings or 5 rings...or his rings will be on a "stacked team".
