Very different type of players and bodies.
McDyess pre knee was a high flying jumper. Not Davis at all. Dyce, after his knick stint played a few decent years but not the jumper he was. Obviously he want second to last in the second round so trading to the 23 pick would not have been necessary. Curious to see if he pans out.
No davis is a serious athlete in the same caliber as mcdyess. Doesn’t matter now
Davis Vertical is 33 inches.
Dyce was 42.
Bam was 38.
Not saying this defines anyone but at Davis’ age he is not going to start flying, and all Im saying they are not the same type of athlete. Thats all. Im not predicting his career or trajectory but if your going to compare to promote then perhaps use someone like with greater fundamental skills for comparison than Dyess, who was a raw athletic freak that did become an allstar player. Giannis was perhaps a good comp for Dyess. Davis? Mabye a Carlos Boozer or wendall carter, or Elton Brand. You know, Duke players!!
Hey, Hope the kid pans out as you wish. GSW a good place for him. Older player, nba ready for a role at low cost. That he gets an oppportunity over money might work to his advantage long term.
