re: Anthony Davis has the first 40/20 game this year

You are acting like what Davis is doing on offense is expected for him at 21.

It wasn't. It isn't.

And that draft express thing you posted basically agreed with me.

Aside from the high school guard premise, sure.

Everyone knew he had the tools to be a good shooter. So do lots of guys that never learn how to shoot. No one expected him to do it this fast. And he's not just a spot up shooter. He's pulling up, he's turning and facing, he's posting up. This type of versatility was not expected now, and for some analysts ever.

He's shooting better from mid range than LaMarcus Aldridge this season. He shot 29% from mid range last year. You saw that happening? Serge Ibaka has a nice jumper too. He can't do what Davis does on offense.

Again, no one saw this type of ability and production in year 2 of his NBA career. It is crazy how good he's been and even crazier to think how much better he can still get.

Let's celebrate a wholly unique player exceeding expectations instead of "ho hum who didn't see that one coming"
