Overall Thoughts on Anthony Davis' First Year?

I'm not defending any position. The actual words exchanged do that.

Let's see your analysis... or do you just want to complain that you didn't ask for what you wanted and could not produce for yourself, did not receive it exactly when you wanted it, then over-reacted?

Just make a point. Any point. Calling me like you see me is pointless because no one cares about either of us.

No offense, but that's the truth. Esp concerning this situation.

Again, private message is a great tool to be used.

Anthony Davis is among some elite company in that he is one of six players to post a PER above 18 as a teenager in the 3 point era. He actually has the 2nd highest PER and 2nd most win shares (1st in PER is Drummond, 1st in WS is Kobe).

Agree with both of you, and I suggested PM earlier. He ignored that.

I can tell you that I'd like to see more Davis-Anderson line-ups in these last games.

Would love to see that combo with Darius Miller at the 3. Two players that can stretch and allow Davis room in the middle of the paint.

I read an article where Monty said he kept AD's minutes low as to bring him slowly into the league. I thought his reasoning was perfect. AD will have a long career ahead of him.

The data indicates that there was more to the minutes limitation.

You chose to tell me that on here so I will respond on here. You want to play like the bigger person, yet keep on. I will as well.

Anyway, let's drop it and this will be my last post about it.

The one chart that showed Davis played his best and more efficient games with (this is my horrible memory at work) around 25-29 minutes of play in a game?

That may be true, but not all games were created equally.

Of late, he handles long minutes much better than in Junuary+.

C'mon! Haven't finished all the popcorn yet.

Speaking of Davis, his former teammate at UK, Terrence Jones got playing time ahead of Thomas Robinson last night and responded with 14 pts and 12 boards. Not surprised if he's ahead of Robinson in the depth chart. He has alot more skills overall.

I like Terrence Jones a lot. The problem is when a team like that is fighting for a playoff spot, the players without experience might not get a shot to prove their worth. It might take awhile before Jones is given the consistent chance he deserves.

Can't believe Robinson was considered the likely #2 pick in the 2012 draft. I actually remember select few writers who said Robinson and MKG would probably be selected before Davis.
