Any armchair McGregorstrators want to take a stab at explaining this?


It seems pretty obvious: neither of them are very strong, 'big' guys. Ryno is not a particularly good defender to begin with, especially down low, and Davis is a rookie that needs to put on a lot of muscle. Anyone who is physical can get the better of them right now.

Davis–Ryan Anderson front line has been a disaster; the Hornets have allowed 113.1 points per 100 possessions when those two share the floor


Hopefully with Davis bulking up in the offseason, his defense will improve.

+1

Its why the folks waiting to turn Davis into a center shouldn't hold their breathes.

this is why I am kind of pulling for the Pelicans to draft Anthony Bennett...I think he can play SF in the NBA, he's a big guy and could be Brandon Bass-like - basically a bully that can beat up guys

the Pelicans have no one that can really bully people Jason Smiht is a spot up shooter, AD is a very finesse player right now, Ryno plays a lot of his game outside the paint, and Lopez is really the only guy that "bangs" down low

Bennett is the exact same height and weight as Melo was when he came out of the draft he a tough guy I think thats in part something the Pelicans are missing

anyway thats my thoughts
