re: AD knocking down 3s on par with Curry/Thompson in practice

The addition of Asik tells me that AD is more comfortable as a more perimeter oriented player.

At this point he is. Been saying that.

I think there's a difference of understanding going on in this conversation. Perimeter to me means beyond the 3pt line, not just away from the paint.

Davis isn't a back to basket player, but he dominates in and around the paint. He also isn't a wing but he likes to shoot and attack from the mid range. That's why I keep bringing up STAT

Bringing in Asik in no way means Davis will be floating around the 3pt line. Could he? Sure. But that would be because of Davis, not Asik. They brought Asik in to play defense, not to move Davis away from the basket on offense

I do not see him ever getting the floor game from the perimeter of a Durant like some have said. Then again, I've been wrong about him before

To be honest and blasphemous on this board, if he gets Blake Griffin's dribbling and face up skills, I'll be very happy
