The crazy thing is this guy was 6-3 his junior year then shot up to his 6-11 for his senior year. He has had this body only 18 mos. This kid gets an NBA body he will be "Scary".

Funny, his Twin sister is only 5-6 and I don't think his parents are tall. What a gift!

He has great potential and should stay in school but no. 1 overall? You don't pass that up. He can play the 4 and be ok.

Certainly he is pick 1. But saying hes the next Russell Shaq Duncan is high praise that will be very very difficult to live up to. Physically he cannot dominate NBA games. Marcus Camby played with a pirse poor team at Mass and they were absolutely dominate. Marcus was a guy who struggled physically at times(didnt help himself) The one thing in the NBA right now--there are no shaqs and Ewings Mournings for some reason. I do think that if Andrew Bynum was first option on a team hed average 25-12 -3. Id like to see Davis guard him. Hes two inches taller and 60 pds heavier.

Think he can handle the 4 off the bench for a year, then maybe move to the 5 at age 25?

There are no monsters to guard but still with no "Man Legs" he'll hurt his back. I thought OK4 was ready but with his little waist/Core it hurt him early.

The reality is they should not let the big guys come out of until they are 21! I know they can't do that, but physically it sets them back.

Young big men are hit or miss. For every Dwight Howard you have a Greg Oden. For every Tim Duncan or KG there's a Michael Olowakandi, Kwame Brown, or Darko Milicic.

Darko was a beast. MDA phucked him up and didnt know how to utilize him

Always the sarcastic one aye?

MDA was good dude but he's gone - we all have to move forward, love one another and bond.

Yup. I'd bet Davis will have more impact on whatever team he lands on than Camby, largely because, yes, he's a smart player. I can't see him becoming an instant all-star like, say, Durant, but I think he'll be a solid role player as a rookie and heading toward all-star in a year or two.
