Wall is a count hair below a 20/10 average right now. Needs to shoot better but he's a monster.

I don't know if this has been brought up yet. But Bill Simmons and Jalen Rose said that AD is CURRENTLY a top 15 player in League in their most recent podcast.

Sorry if Germans

I would take Tony Parker or Chris Paul before any of those guys, but they aren't freakishly athletic.

dont know why griffin is so high, i get it, hes athletic and fun to watch, but besides his leaping ability his offensive game is very limited,he cant shoot the mid range, hes a good rebounder, but to say hes up that high in potential is not accurate to me, i dont see his game ever changing.

Who is better?

AD can play offense and defense at an elite level. He also isn't a liability at the FT line.

If you count Lebron as a big man then he is not.

You can make a strong case for Lamarcus Aldrige and Kevin Love. I would take AD over them but if you're asking who the better player is today, both of those guys are up there.

Not surprising at all. If he can stay healthy, Bron will pass the NBA torch to him in 4 or 5 years.

I would much rather these guys than AD. Don't get me wrong though, I love what Davis brings, but the key to ability is availability.

*Yes, I know Love and Aldridge suffered injuries a season ago. But AD suffered about 7 of them.

No offense, but you seem to have some dumb opinions about basketball. Love literally missed all of last year due to injury. You also ranked Irving your number three young player, Irving probably has the worst injury history of any player in the top ten. Regardless, unless it's something chronic like knees, or you're a freak like Lebron, injuries are mostly luck. It will even out in the end

Would you really prefer AD over Love/Aldridge?

Certainly far from dumb if yes, yet also understandable if no. Aldridge is probably the most consistent player in NBA outside of James, Love is just nasty. No need to provide backing there.

The difference between those players and Davis is that you know their ceiling. In the beginning of Davis' second season he is already as good as those two players' ceiling (or close to it). Love averaged 14 and 11 in his second season, and isn't close to the defensive player that Davis is. Same with Aldridge averaging 17 and 7 his second season and also not as good as Davis defensively.

Barring injuries, I personally would absolutely prefer AD. The fact that so many NBA fans are actually acknowledging this as fact is a little shocking to me honestly. AD... he's a BEEEEEAAAASSSSTTTTT!!!!! But defense rarely wins over hoops fans. Regardless, go Pels and come back soon AD!
