An elite PG who can carry a team or potentially an elite big who can carry a team. Obviously Paul has shown what he can do, mixed in with some injury issues, but he has proven to be one of the better PGs of this generation. Davis (who has also dealt with some injuries) hasn't set the world on fire yet, but his numbers are what you'd want from a 20-year-old rookie big with major upside.


Paul's rookie season (one year older than Davis):

In 78 games, 16 PPG, 7.8 APG, 2.3 TOV, 5.1 RPG, 2.2 SPG, 84.7% FT, 43.0% FG, 54.6% TS, 22.1 PER, 10.4 WS, .178 WS/48

Davis's rookie season so far:

In 56 games, 13 PPG, 8.0 RPG, 1.8 BPG, 1.1 SPG, 51.6 FG%, 74.1% FT, 55.6% TS, 21.5 PER, 5.0 WS, .152 WS/48

So I already know what becomes of Paul? If so, then he's the obvious choice. If not, you would be dumb to not pick Davis.

I don't think people realize how good Davis has been. His PER is pretty damn great for a 19-20 year old rookie big man. Top 10 all time for a rookie of that age I think.

But yeah, the answer is Paul, simply because we already know he's an All-Time great PG.

I think Davis will be, but we don't know that yet.

Being a that a young Chris Paul, with atleast 2 other all-stars, couldn't get past the 2nd round I think you're dumb if you would pick him.

LOL you're an idiot, CP3 is one of the best players in the game right now. I guess it's not a lock that you keep him (obviously), but how do you know AD is gonna stay past his contract?
