The House of Blue

Now you're really starting to see why Davis has NBA scouts/GMs salivating. Unreal effect on the defensive end but now starting to showcase how versatile he can be on the offensive end. Reminds me a lot of Kevin Durant offensively.

Absolutely insane player.

To say this only after 2 years from Wall...but Davis is by far the best freshmen/player we ever had.

I think he's ball-handling is one of the most impressive things about him. I've never seen a 6-11 guy put it on the floor so comfortably like he does. That move he made today, finishing with his left hand, was RI-DIC-U-LOUS.

I think more LaMarcus Aldridge than Durant, which is not a knock. Durant is simply a cold-blooded assassin, even from three. Only LBJ, Wade, and Kobe are in the realm with Durant offensively. Carmelo, D-Rose, and CP3 venture there when needed, but not night in, night out. I'm hoping with everything in me that Davis lands on the Wizards. Anybody but the Bobcats.

Not bad for a college freshman to be compared, and reasonably so, to LaMarcus Aldridge.

I personally don't see Davis having as huge an impact as Kevin Durant, certainly not immediately, but you have to realize that Durant is among the best handful of players that's played basketball anywhere in the last 20 or 30 years. When you think of the list of most talented players in that time span: You think of Jordan, Kobe and LeBron. After that, Durant truthfully could be next.

Durant has all of the physical tools of Davis, but he's also as good a 3-point shooter as Doron Lamb is. It doesn't even make sense how good Durant is.

Davis' jump shot is not at NBA-dominant level yet. Not from 10 feet or 20 feet. He's shown he can hit those shots from as far out as 18 feet but until he does so consistently, he won't be in that tier. That said, he's shown he can hit them and I think he'll start doing so consistently at some point. If he does, and can hit deep jumpers in the NBA, he'll be an absolute game changer in the league

I think Davis is a much better shooter than he's shown this season and it's because he hasn't taken a whole lot of them in game action. It's hard to find your rhythm from out there when you only shoot one every couple games. It doesn't make sense for Calipari to allow Davis to shoot 18 footers when he could dunk a 1-footer.

But you can tell by his form and his free throws that he's a really good shooter. Not on the level of Durant by any means, but very good.
