Crack or meth--which one are you on?

given his team (asik, evans, holiday, gordon, anderson, plus other role players like salmons or fredette) they should be at least .600 for the hype to be justified ... and I don't think they'll get close. They won vs orlando, minny, lakers, hornets and benefitted from a strategic spurs loss. He got destroyed by memphis, which exposed his weakness in defending real big men, something we saw at the wc too for stretches.

Compared to kg his post defense is lacking as he easily goes for fakes and lacks a bit in discipline. His passing game is also much inferior, so that comparison needs some time. Also his defense isn't as good as his stats because the pelicans are only 13th in defensive efficiency on a team with holiday & asik which are both very good defensively. Look at what howard is doing (with harden, montejunas and other defensive clowns playing heavy minutes) in houston for some serious defensive impact.

Don't get me wrong he is a great talent but imho his stats oversell his impact. Nonetheless I will re-evaluate in 30-40 games to have a decent sample.

Compared to hakeem this thread is a bad joke, hakeem was giving a historic lakers squad the business in the playoffs, AD hasn't even sniffed the PO.
Young admiral is a good comparison, albeit one more polished offensively.

I can see him being the next Tim Duncan success wise. They're games aren't that similar but he has that kind of impact.
