Levine sucks. Minnesota's offense has been terrible when is is running the show at p.g. they just need to move him to the two guard spot


Zach LaVine has been playing the 2-guard spot for over a month.

When provided consistent minutes, Zach LaVine has actually played very well. Unfortunately, once those minutes fluctuate, is when he begins to struggle.

At the least, he has scored in double-figures in all but 17 games and has improved his scoring output and field goal percentage from year-one to year-two.

He will continue to get better and be a solid contributor in this league. Kid is only 20.

his rookie season is comparable with Davis in his 4th (this season).

Yeah?

23.0ppg
2.4 blk
10.3 rbd
1.9 asst
1.3 steals

16.5 ppg
1.8 blk
9.9 rbd
1.5 asst
.7 steals

Are "comparable"? K.

I mean KAT is really good and will be an elite player imo. Great rookie season. But that is pretty dumb to say of AD in a down season. Even though, obviously, you're just trolling.

If they can get a top 2 pick in this draft then they will quickly become contenders. Imagine Ingram, towns and Wiggins

Bunchy don't be a simpleton. Of course Davis will have better raw numbers when he's playing 6 min more per game than Towns and his usage is higher. Let's look a little deeper why don't we.

WS
Towns 4.9
Davis 4.9

WS/48
Towns .155
Davis .156

Box plus minus
Towns 2.5
Davis 2.4

VORP

Towns 1.7
Davis 1.7

You probably couldn't find any 2 players in the league as comparable as these 2.

As was said, he's having a down year.

Let's look at last year:
WS - 14.0
WS/48 - .278
BPM - 7.1
VORP - 5.7

Or last year was a fluke? Towns will have the better career imo I don't think Davis will ever be as highly regarded on a national league wide level as he was this past offseason when he was being called the 2nd or 3rd best player in the league which was laughable.

Come find me when Towns leads a team to the finals, or wins multiple DPOYs... I'm not saying it won't happen but until then you don't compare him to someone like D12 have a little respect.

who would you rather Ben wallace or Dwight howard?

Wallace won 4 DPOY to Howards 3 and has a ring.

What does any of this have to do with the fact D12 is soft?

His PER 36 isn't as good as AD either, so it is pretty irrelevant.

I was actually going to say, and now Boom is going to find any Stats he can to fit his argument. Its stupid. They aren't having comparable seasons. Davis is better and is having a better season.

Will KAT be better eventually? We will see. He's definitely having a better rookie season than AD had, that's for sure.

Ben Wallace was a role player, maybe one of the greatest ever but still a role player. Howard is a leader, a carry a team on his back to the finals kinda guy.
