anthony davis is a freak of nature
i think only injuries can stop him
watching him play defense on the perimeter is just stupid

Well most of the guys marketed as "dominant superstars" are perimeter isolation scorers who handle the ball. So no, AD will never be that. And KG wasn't that either.
But Davis is going to end up being an extremely valuable player (whether he gets the 'superstar' label from the public or not) because of his ability to be a huge mismatch offensively while anchoring a team defensively. He's not as explosive or animated as KG, but he can be equally as effective on both ends of the floor.
Garnett's rookie season (age 19): 10.4ppg, 6.3rpg, 1.8apg, 1.6bpg, 1.1spg, .491 fg% on 28.7mpg - 15.8 PER
Davis's rookie season (age 19): 13.5ppg, 8.2rpg, 1.0apg, 1.8bpg, 1.2spg, .516 fg% on 28.8mpg - 21.7 PER

My goodness. N.O. is going to be a fun team to watch this year. I honestly had no clue that his #'s were considerably better than KG's at 19 years old. He might not be getting the national exposure he deserves b/c he's in New Orleans, but Anthony Davis might be on a trajectory to greatness.

There are no other guys under the age of 24 aside from AD, Rose (assuming he comes back 100%), Beard, and Kyrie that I would build my team around.

Garnett had to overcome playing in a small market as well. He made the jump his 2nd year and became an all star and the rest is history. I can see Davis making the same jump. I think KG avg around 19 ppg his 2nd year, I can see Davis doing the same.

Wouldn't build my team around Blake, no defense and his offense is limited.

Man, this video had us at my school dribbling off their knees, under their legs bent back, spinning the ball around their body under their shirt, hitting the slip n' slide (word to NBA Street), and everything....all while trying to be on that beat of course, lol....man I miss being a teenager
Edit: Yea you guys are rough on Blake in here man. You guys really don't think he is a top PF in the league right now? Not saying the best, but at least up there?
