Who will end up being the better overall player: Andre Drummond or Anthony Davis?

[irondarts]

So did I, then I saw his disappointing year at UConn, so I changed my mind to Davis. Then I saw their rookie years......

....I think Drummond has the potential to be better, hell, he has more potential than nearly anyone in this league, but I don't see him reaching it. I think the Brow will end up being the better player. He had a pretty underrated rookie year and he's gonna be very good at his peak.

This.

[Johnny Jones]

I still believe Drummond will be better.

Why?

Anthony Davis' ceiling = Garnett

Drummond's ceiling = Tyson Chandler or better DeAndre Jordan

I don't think Drummond's will have much of a offensive game

[RIP CITY]

This is really stupid. Davis is not even close to his full potential. When he puts on strength he will be a much better player. Opposing bigs wouldn't be able to shove him around/back him down.

Per 36 his numbers are 16/10/2. Incredible for a weak, raw rookie.

You took what I said alittle further than I meant it. My point really was, people expecting Davis to be the next KG are going to be disappointed, I don't think his ceiling is that high.

Davis. As much as said about Anthony Davis' defensive ability coming into the league, I really think Drummond will be much more dominant defensively.

AD's versatility and skill level at his age and position are too hard to ignore, he's going to be really good. Combined with his ability to block shots, overall he will be the better player.

and drummonds per 36 were..... 14/14/3 with 2 steals

pretty incredible for an even rawer rookie with poor conditioning (and younger).

both are among the best young bigs in the league. I do think drummond's size and freak athleticism may set them apart by the time they are 5 years deep in the league

Bumping this.

Anthony Davis.

[veilside23]

a. Davis ...

[SpurrDurr]

So far it's Davis. Drummond is a great athlete but Davis is a nature freak with skills. He's bulking up, i expect him to sodomize Howard in a couple of years.

[Aussie Dunker]

You can definitely argue either way, but all I know is that Drummond was an absolute steal with pick #9 right?...

Drummond needs to learn how to shoot free-throws before this is even a question.

If you can't play someone at the end of the game, he belongs nowhere in a "who's better" comparison with someone legitimate.

... this is coming from someone very excited about Monroe/Drum'

Drummond: only player to put up 20 PER as a teenager

Drummond: only player to put up 20 PER as a teenager

This is great and all, but look up Javale McGee and Andray Blatche's stats and then tell me how useful PER is for measuring the effectiveness of a big man.

I take Dravis all day. I've seen flashes from Drummond, but I've seen one too many raw athletic bigs never develope the fundamentals needed to dominate to really buy in. Hopefully he proves me wrong.
