top 5 yes,

but he's not a leader, and he's injury prone, he'll miss 15-20 games a year

Is that what you are seeing here?

Most Pels fans are not mad at him and think he's a great player.

I’ll give you credit on this one.

This is like if Tom Brady requested a trade and I started posting that he was a system QB all over the place and saying I’ve always had that opinion

Yeah, its not. It has been the knock on him for years. Most Pels fans, like myself, just thought as he got older he would develop that side of himself as so many stars do.

He just never has.

He is an amazing talent though. He will be great with a real franchise not run by losers and football people.

People will say he is soft and that’s why it hasn’t transferred over to wins but that is just wrong.

In the nba you win with ball dominant, highly efficient wing players:

Even with the numbers he puts up, he is just not in position to make the rest of his team better because he is not mobile with the ball.

Never disliked Anthony. I have tons of respect for other guys in the league who have been there and done that and won at the highest levels it is disrespectful to those guys to put a guy like Anthony who hasn’t done anything ahead of them.

He's rated fairly. Fringe top 5 player with no leadership attributes and injury prone. Only peliturds think his value is higher than what it actually is

Harden's a fraud. AD is overrated.

Are there any good players in the league not on GS or named LBJ, Speedy?

Im curious who is in your top 5?

Can you blame them? They have defended this dude for the last 7 years despite getting out of the 1st one time and a ton of missed games due to injury.

Doncic’s team has a better record than he does.

Doncic > Davis

this is retarded. He's basically still a kid, and has never had anyone worth a shite aside from Jrue on his team


Go take a look at what Garnett did, as a kid, with his second best player being Terrell Brandon or Wally Szerbiak.

Yes he's overrated. Super talented of course, and likely can easily win a nba championship if he's got that lead dog on his team to take the pressure off of him.

What are the realistic expectations for a player like Davis? Unless he joins a super team, he is not beating a team like GS or HOU. Does this fact make him overrated?

Both are irrelevant in the NBA, in fact in the long term it’s better to suck that to be an 8 seed every year and get swept in the first round

If you have a competent GM that is.
