Thank AD for clearing that up... everybody wants him to play the 5.
RTB.....I didn't mean anything by it. I just have a bad habit of continuing anyone who makes Billy Madison references. One of the best movies of all time.
Of course he likes playing the 4.
Everyone wants to be a jump shooter now. He knows if he's at the 5 he is going to be much closer to the rim.
And I'm fine with that right now while he's putting on weight. I hope by the time he fully adds the weight that he will be willing to play the 5.
And based off his personality I think he will. I have no doubt when AD is fully developed he will be right at 6'11"-7' and 250-255. If that's not a C I don't know what is.
Straight from the horses mouth. We should never have another thread about AD being our future 5 again. RIP to the AD is a C conversation.
The most overused words on Pelicansreport.com. Wrongly, I might add.
ELITE - (often used with a plural verb) the choice or best of anything considered collectively, as of a group or class of persons.
GREAT - notable; remarkable; exceptionally outstanding
These words should not be used lightly
What else will he say? "No, I wanna play five." Which would mean to some that he has reason to form animosity with Asik and by extension the entire franchise and by double extension the city of New Orleans. SO he'll take millions of dollars less at his own risk and eventually leave us. Just like Chris Paul did.
So...good thing he didn't say that.
Full context of the quote:
http://www.nba.com/pelicans/news/ant...lp-my-game-lot“Whatever position the team wants me to play, I’m going to do it and try my best and excel at it, but my game is really more of a power forward’s,” Davis said. “This is going to help my game a lot. I like playing the four. Now I get a chance to work on more stuff, knowing that I’ll be playing the four a lot more than I have in the past couple of years.”
Alot better at the 4
New Orleans Pelicans-Seattle Seahawks-Atlanta Braves-Anaheim Ducks
RIP HunnyB
This fits HunnyB/FlyGirl so well- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyzTiSEfM00
Well, we will have to see how Bosh does this upcoming season. I'd much rather AD stay closer to the basket but there's no denying he wants to be a Durant type instead of a Duncan type. Bosh is the closest we have to a C that wants to be a jump shooter.
I'm sure it will be somewhat effective but I'd much rather he work on his post game and how to pass out of the post.
Never understood this reasoning. He hasn't matched up with the opposing center all game and suddenly, you're going to completely change the playsets and flow of the game at the end of every 4th quarter?
Give me asik and AD all game. Ryno's a great 6th man, but y'all are a little too hung up on the dude if you like him so much you want AD to play a position he doesn't want to play in crucial moments of the game.
I like the whole quote where he says he is willing to play wherever the team needs him. Just because he likes one position doesn't mean he can't ever play at another. I don't care where he plays, but why is it one or the other on here?
That sounds like an awful idea. Trusting your 21 yr old superstar to know th r best way to play the game is kind of silly.
I'm all for listening to him and taking how he feels into consideration but if he starts asking to play PG are you still up for letting him do whatever he wants?
Josh Smith likes to shoot jumpers. Is it a good idea to let him jack them up? I'm sorry. I much prefer Monty coach and AD being willing to trust the coaching staff.
Like I said. Everyone wants to shoot jumpers now. But that doesn't mean that's the best for this team.
Truthfully AD would be our best SF. Heck, our best lineup may be this:
C Asik
PF Anderson
SF Davis
SG Evans
PG Holiday
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
