Name 2 other players (besides LeGOAT) that are better than him when taking into consideration playing both defense AND offense


just going to toss Giannis out there since no one else did.

more to the point, that 2 way criteria is very different than

quote:

a top 3 player


James Harden is a top 3 player in the NBA. yet no one will say he is a better 2 way player than Davis.


Davis is phenomenal. he is a superior talent. he is an all-NBA performer. he's still at a disadvantage in these discussions b/c of position/skill set.

it's funny that so many people in this thread are trashing Griffin; if Davis had peak Griffin's passing skills and floor game...

quote:

I wouldn't trade Davis for any of those players


fun parlor game- who would you trade Davis for?

obviously LeBron- don't care how old he is. that dude is an instant title shot. what about the other 3 MVP contenders this year?

real tough one for me- Giannis. i think i would move Davis for Giannis

I think Giannis is the only player I'd trade Davis for straight up and I can't believe I forgot him.
so that's six players better than Davis at creating on his own which is as you rightly point out the only way a superstar can carry a flawed team past .500

Davis is so unique but he must have a facilitator which is why I can't get behind going all in on holiday. yes he improves the defense but what we need is an aggressive pass first penetrator and that is definitely not holidays forte'. Holiday is a 2, not a 1
