The title of the link was 'Yes We Pelican!' Cheesy, but it was the main article on SI's NBA page.

During the 2012-13 season, Davis took 62 percent of his field goal attempts in the protected circle, according to NBA.com’s stats. But during portions of practice that have been open to the media, Davis has consistently taken and made elbow jumpers, looking like a young Chris Bosh or LaMarcus Aldridge at times. “I’ve been working on my jumper, trying to be more versatile, expand my game,” Davis explained. “That’s what I’ve been doing. Come out here and try to show guys what I can do. They took the reins off me and said go play.”

“The very first thing [I noticed about the big men in camp] is how much Anthony Davis has developed,” Krzyzewski said. “One of the reasons he was on the Olympic team was because we look and see he’s a guy who is going to get a lot better and hopefully be on a number of teams. His defense in yesterday’s practice was outstanding.”

USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo was also effusive in his praise of Davis. “I’ve seen real improvement with the guy we had last year, Anthony Davis, because we’ve had more time to see him,” he said. “I think in the next couple of years, he has a chance to elevate himself even to another level, because he has one skill that sets him apart: he can block shots any place on the floor. He’s the one big I would say, really, ‘Wow.’”

Highlight blocks aside, perhaps the most impressive aspect of Davis’ game this week has been his mid-range jumper. During the 2012-13 season, Davis took 62 percent of his field goal attempts in the protected circle, according to NBA.com’s stats. But during portions of practice that have been open to the media, Davis has consistently taken and made elbow jumpers, looking like a young Chris Bosh or LaMarcus Aldridge at times.

His ceiling is so high that we aren't predicting him to be the next *blank*. His unique skill set is going to be so much fun to watch, especially with a PG like Jrue.

Davis, who just turned 20, sounded downright giddy when asked to discuss Holiday, replying “Who?” after hearing “Jrue” multiple times, clearly amusing himself with his Dr. Seuss-esque rhyming abilities.

Initial jokes aside, Holiday eventually got in line with The Franchise. “The color scheme is dope,” he said. “I’ve seen the jersey a little bit, the release is August 1. I’m excited.”


Nice.
