So ummm......Anthony Davis, where you at bruh???

12.8 PPG
7.8 RPG
0.8 APG

Not to mention, average to decent defense, and more of a hustle type player than the game changer, everyone was labeling him as.

"the most NBA ready player since Lebron." Remember that?

[RoseCity07]

Those numbers are quite good for a rookie center that still needs to bulk up. He's been hurt this year too.

You even watch this kid play? My guess is no. He's closing the ROY gap that was pretty big at the start of the season.

I thought evan turner was supposed to be the most Nba ready player since Lebron.

Have you actually been watching him play? You don't even notice he's there sometimes.

[PJR]

I think he'll be a late bloomer. Monty Williams seems to have the cuffs on him a bit.

Yes I have. He's average bro.

He's a very good rookie with big upside but at the same time he was WAY WAY overhyped. You had people saying he would have the impact of rookie Duncan and Lebron and would immediately lift the Hornets franchise.

I know he was injured multiple times this year but the one thing OP got right was at times he's a bit invisible impact wise. Nor has he proven he can be a go to scorer as he's often the 4th or 5th scoring option out there even on a team lacking a go to scorer outside of Gordon who just got back recently.

I still stand by Camby/Chandler in his prime but with more ball handling and a better shooting touch.

brb putting his assists per game instead of blocks.

The kid is 19, I'll take 13 and 8 with 2 blocks in 29 minutes per game. Monty isn't overloading him this season, and he wasn't expected to be a focal point of the offense coming in, especially with Gordon back. If you want to see him carry the load watch his full game highlights against the Raptors.

Still worthy of the hype. Camby went to the finals with New York. Chandler helped Dallas win a championship. Camby was also a defensive player of the year. Davis has qualities that definitely warrant him being the number 1 pick in a draft that looked pretty weak. He's definitely the best player in the draft. So the hype is well deserved. His team won a national championship.

Just look at the Hornet right now. Austin Rivers was their other pick. It's going to take them a few years.

1.8, but c'mon. That is absolutely no gauge on his sub par to average defense. The way he was hyped, you'd think he'd be putting up 20/10 on that shitty Hornets team.

I think people thought he was going to be a game changing defender like Russell, but he's going to end up being a good defender with shot blocking ability, trapped in a really, really big SF's body.

[dbk123]

listing apg instead of bpg for a rookie center. op is indeed a *******

[brandonislegend]

So much fail in here that I am not even going to get started

[Michael_Wilbon]

He will be great.

[All Net]

Injures have really held him back...
