AD and its not close. harden is a nice player but will never sniff top 10 elite. The ceiling is there for AD at least.

Harden is legit, but if AD ever maxes out on that potential then you're talking something special. So I guess him.

I think Davis has the higher ceiling, but Harden has been LeBron lite this year. He's more of a sure thing at this point, I suppose.

I am no Hornets fan, but you have to go with AD. Franchises are built around big men!

Read that as James (Lebron), Harden, or Anthony Davis

I really like James Harden, but because Davis is a big man along with being younger and having a cheaper contract I guess him.

It is a tough choice as Harden has proved more; however, Davis is a young big man with a well rounded skill set.

Davis should easily average 20/10 with decent minutes next year IMO. He also will be a solid shot blocker.

It really is hard to pick against Harden, but you have to go big. The last couple NBA champions have had elite bigs.

Harden, NBA is a perimeter league now. Even great centers like Dwight Howard are not as valuable

starting a franchise today i would take Harden. Dude is already showing he is a top player. Davis's ceiling is higher, but players don't always reach their ceilings. If i'm a GM i take the more sure player today, not tomorrow, so i go with Harden.

It is really which NBA champion didn't have an elite big.

So basically only the Pistons who still had a solid group of big men.

Bosh, Gasol, Bynum, Garnett, Shaq, and Duncan
