I'm sure the above players had a PER of 37 over a 3 week period of their career as well.

Exactly! Davis is a stud, but let's wait until season's end to evaluate the PER.

Are these people Kingspeed clones?
 
I hope the people who doubted Davis before the season learned their lesson last night

He's the best PF in the game and a top 5 player. He was dominant on the offensive side and played some of the best defense I've ever seen played on Aldridge.

3rd in scoring
3rd in rebounds
1st in blocks
1st in steals

Wow.
 
I was at the game last night and just by the eye test Davis is probably the most talented two way player i have seen maybe ever. guy effects the game in so many ways. he handles the ball and shoots like a gaurd and plays defense at a level i cant remember seeing from any of other big man in terms activity level plus athleticism. i think noah is probably the up there in activity level but daivs is much more gifted physically
 
I like Davis, A LOT... but let's not go overboard. His team is still 1-3 on the road. He's not an MVP candidate if he can't get his team into the playoffs.
 
I think we can only judge his PER on what he has done so far obviously and that has been great. For some the thought is that its only ten games in.

But after having watched him last night I personally feel like outside of injury I see no reason why he cant at least stay close to what he is now. He literally seems to be all over the court.

The guy can block 2 straight shots and then still sprint down the court for the alley oop. The thing about AD is that he isnt just super freaky athletic. He has BBIQ and heart and hustle to go with it.

I cant think of a whole lot of players present or past that have that combo. The scary part is that he isnt anywhere near his ceiling. The guy is going to get a better post game and I guarantee he will add a 3 point game at some point. Its nuts when you think about.

Who doubted him?

The knock on Davis is his health. Not his talent.

Oh really

I think you will be surprised how Stotts plays AD. He's a face up player right now. He hasn't developed that post game yet, so I think you will see a lot of defense like they used to play Aldridge before he had a post game.

Look for constant switches and the guard will try and snipe from his back-side. Once we expose him, watch his season numbers drop. No one knows how to play him yet. Once exposed, he doesn't have enough versatility to change to the defense, IMO.

The Blazers were going to expose Davis last night and he would suffer the rest of the season because of it. I read that here on this intelligent Blazers forum.

Does he have a "back to the basket game?" What part of my statement isn't true? I never said he wasn't good. Aldridge was good when he didn't have a back to the basket game either
 
I think half the reason they lost that lead and didn't put the game away was BECAUSE of Davis. The guy is a beast. Beating us from all over the court, but he doesn't really have a "go to" move. He's great at a little bit of everything, but he doesn't have that dominate go to post move. Like with LA, you know when the offense isn't flowing, you can slow it down and get it to him in that left low block and NOBODY can stop that fadeaway. Once AD gets that one unstoppable move, it's over!

Apparently Davis can stop that fadeaway. He did it last night.

When Davis came into the league, I thought he would be a rich man's Marcus Camby. Now, I'm thinking Kevin Garnett's name should be subbed in. If the Pelicans make the playoffs this year, which is a very real possibility, I'm betting on Davis to win MVP.

Not really. Yeah, Davis had a big game in a loss, but Aldridge still had 22 and 9 on .500 shooting. It's not like Davis completely shut him down. And, in the 4th quarter, with the game on the line, it was Aldridge that outscored Davis 10 - 6 and lead his team to the win.

That wasa case of "lived experience plays dirty" - LA went crafty vet on his butt.
 
I still think we should have drafted Davis instead of Meyers.

Nah, we should have drafted Davis instead of Oden. Oh sure, he was only 14 at the time and hadn't had his growth spurt yet, but the potential was clearly there. Man, our scouting department back then sucked.

I bet Davis at 14 could have benched more than Durant.

Didn't LA do most of his damage with Davis out of the game in the 4th?

Nope, absolutely not. Davis and Aldridge both re-entered the game at the 9:13 mark of the 4th quarter. At the time, NOP was up 83-73. Aldridge scored all 10 of his 4th quarter points while being guarded by Davis. Davis had a huge game, but in the 4th quarter, he was outplayed by Aldridge as the Blazers came back from double digits to win.
