I know it's still way early in the season, but I have to admit that I was wrong.. A. Davis is not a Center. He is just too small (weight wise) to hold the pivot and establish position. It might come in a few years, but he is very thinly built and it doesn't look like he can hold a lot of bulk. When he went up against Duncan, you can see how much wider and bulkier Duncan was especially in the lower body. Davis is just built like a tall guard. Of course, he can get much stronger and add lots of muscle, but will too much take away his speed and agility (which makes him a potential elite player)? This isn't a criticism at all. I think the guy is an awesome player. He is a just a unique guy. But he is way better off as a PF.

We should start Eric Gordon, Ryan Andersen, Anthony Davis, Jason Smith, Robin Lopez.

He's already gotten bulkier than he was when he arrived. And remember that he's still growing....vertically. So once he stops that foolishness then he can expand horizontally a bit.

His bulk is the main reason they can't get it to him in the post and he's settling for 15 footers. But he's 15 games into a very promising career. He will be get there sooner than later

He won't ever be a dominanat big man in this league. If we are lucky he will end up as good as Chris Bosh.

Maturity will add some weight as will diet and weight training. Might actually be a better power forward assuming he can add good weight.

That is why I am so confused at everyone saying we need a 3. Anderson should play the 3 while Davis plays the 4 and if Gordon comes back he plays the 2. Leaving us with getting a real point guard and depth in the offseason and doing whatever we can for a Center since Lopez doesnt seem to cut it.
