Anthony Davis:

13.8 pts; 9.8 rebs; 4.8 blks; 64.6 FG%

Thomas Robinson:

17.4 pts; 11.9 rebs; 1.1 blks; 54 FG%

I know I'm biased, but I think the award has to go to Davis. Slightly better stats and his team has the better record.

Robinson. He's more valuable to his team. I know it's not an MVP award, but that still gets taken into consideration.

Davis hands down. He had a PoY type game today.

It's close. I go with Davis because I think it's far tougher to be that good defensively and he's one-of-a-kind in that respect. His offensive stats would be through the roof if he didn't play on a team with 5 other guys who average double digits.

UK's only loss this season was because Davis spent majority of the game on the bench in foul trouble.

I don't need to make that argument. This is not an MVP award.

UK w/o Davis = 1 or 2 seed in NCAA Tourney

KU w/o Robinson = bubble team at best

Then you're making the argument for why Davis's numbers should be more impressive. Because he's doing it despite having talent around him that eat up points, rebounds, etc.

If Davis was on Kansas, what would his numbers be like?

What's your point? This is not an MVP award. It is supposed to go to the player with the better statistical season.

You can't penalize Davis for the fact that Thomas Robinson plays on a shitty team (with the exception of T-Rob).

I really like Davis and I want the Hornets to draft him, but I've got to go with Robinson.

I already said this in my first post. I didn't make it a debate.

In that case, I still vote Robinson. More points, more rebounds
