Well, only 3 PFs are playing 35+ mpg this year.
shouldn't he be in that company? #1 overall pick franchise player with Duncan/Garnett aspirations.

I was excited about the Ryno signing, and he's proving to be worth more than what he's getting paid (definitely a top 5 non-rookie deal in the NBA), but I really, really, REALLY wish he were capable of defending SFs. I know he can't get to the basket like many 3's can, but I really think AD will be great at doing that.
The whole thing gets more fricked up if Monty values a guy like Al Jefferson and can get him at what feels like a reasonable price.
yep...no way we have Jefferson/Lopez/Davis/Anderson.
gotta keep Ryno...too god a player at too good a price

I personally think it's too premature to think about getting rid of Anderson. While I do feel that their games haven't complimented each other well, I only speak in terms of this season. Next season, with some improvements, Davis could really make it work with Anderson. But I still think we need a big who can create.. At least one off the bench ala a Carl Landry type.
Next season, I'm really hoping Davis can create space for himself. By that he must:
-Improve his 15-18 jumpshot. While he's shows signs of making it at a good rate, I want to see him average around 40% in that area.
-Tightening those handles of his. He has the speed and quickness to blow by most 4, he needs have tighter handles to do it reliably.
-Finally, The most important thing he needs to develop. An isolation game. Whether it's Shooting off the dribble, Driving, or Passing. I really want Davis to have the ball in his hands to initiate the offense. Up to this point, we've mostly seen other players initiate the offense for Davis(College and Pro). This is where I want to see the biggest leap from year 1 to year 2 in his overall offensive game.
As long as Davis stops relying on other to create for him regularly and is able to create for himself, He will fit with just about any big.
