can Anthony Davis be the next Hakeem Olajuwon...

[riseagainst]

or better?

[chocolatethunder]

or better?

No but he's going to be really awesome. He plays nothing like Hakeem.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

hell no
hakeem in his 3rd year was better at everything except taking care of the ball. And AD isnt even the best offensive player on the focal point on offense for the team

ADs ceiling is David Robinson lite

[penny4president]

nop!! they have different style... but he can be the next KG.

[NBAplayoffs2001]

Next KG.

There u go! Davis is more in line with KG!! Which is a 7 foot freak athlete who can defend big swingmen all the way down to center. On offense, they have the skillset of an elite swingman AND can also get it done inside too. As great as Hakeem was, he wasn't as versatile as KG or AD. Dream could play C or PF and was a freak athlete too. But AD and KG actually have small forward elements in their game to go with the PF stuff. With that said, I would take peak Dream over peak KG. But KG was clearly the more versatile big man.

Odd comparison. They don't play alike. AD is like Kevin Garnett with a worse Jumper but better shot blocking ability.

Davis doesnt have anywhere near the playmaking/passing skills of KG
even past his prime Boston and Nets were using KG as point center alot

He isn't a playmaker like KG, but he seems to be better at finishing at the rim.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Yeah he's a worse passer and probably has a worse handle as well. But still, KG is the best comparison i can think of.

David Robinson is the best comparison
both stuff the stat sheet, high block and steal numbers. Faceup game, lot of transition, open dunks/alleys etc

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Yeah Robinson's a good one too.

[unbreakable]

hes already surpassed hakeem and barkley... easily..

now hes working towards becoming KG/Duncan/Dirk elite

pass that thing your smoking

[sportjames23]

or better?

No and no.

AD is a beast, but it's one thing to be a beast and another thing to be a legend. Kid's having a great season. Let's see if he can turn it into a career.
