I would like to hear an nba dude opinion on my theory but I think it’s a mistake to play him at the 5 but the media and other people be trying to force him or shame him into playing the 5 and expect him to play the 5 like some 7 foot 350 pound banger when really he best at the 4,The teams AD was on were much different than that of CP3’s. Hornets with CP3 weren’t very good either outside of 2,3 years particularly their 56 win season where they had a pretty nice nucleus of West, Peja, Tyson, Mo Pete.
These guys playoff resumes are inferior to Davis. Davis won a championship playing with LeBron that should not be a knock that is part of his resume and he did so in dominating fashion on both ends where he played a strong 1B role. Being such a major part of a championship outweighs some other guys extra playoff appearances where they were early exits. Just having a championship where he played at a dominant level is a big leg up over many players in the top 75 who never even won.
AD didn't always make the playoffs in New Orleans but when he did he put up dominant numbers. He was just a severe underdog going against the Warriors and unlike McGrady he managed to get out the First Round—and that Blazers series was an upset. In those seasons New Orleans missed the playoffs a deeper dive and you'll see they had seasons that were injury riddled where they had up to 26 different guys suit up, that organization was known for one of the worst medical staffs in the league.
Davis is better than McGrady and more accomplished as well. He has more All-Star appearances, a championship, more All-NBA Defensive teams, more All-NBA First Teams and this is all through his age 29 season he isn't done racking up accolades and counting stats.
Howard vs. Davis is a bit tougher to gauge but Davis is absolutely more skilled on the offensive end and that counts for a lot. If the argument is Howard's deep runs it has to be noted how well built those Magic teams were around Howard and how well coached they were. These guys like Turkoglu and Lewis were mismatch nightmares.
I’m not a sports doctor I don’t know why AD so fragile.
He gained weight specifically to bang with 5’s this year. I wouldn’t say dude doesn’t care about the craft he has put on over 30 pounds of mass since entering the league, improved his offense tenfold, even on defense has become more disciplined. He clearly cares and works very hard.
Nobody has ever thought Anthony Davis is a guy you need on your team? AD right now coming off a down year if put on the trade market would command a load and garner interest from several franchises throughout the league.
That’s why he soft, p*ssy, and not an alpha according to fans and tv personalities because he doesn’t play a certain way
