Anthony Davis Discussion: Only Player On Both All NBA + All Def

I'm hyped about AD again and will choose him in the 1st pick of my fantasy draft. He wins DPOY this year

 

if he gets one more block, he'll have as much as Wembanyana in any quarter he plays this year lol

 

AD just ain't that guy

 

Just can’t go scoreless in a half AD especially in a game we’re in striking distance of winning.

 

paid big bucks for what?

 

They should have drafted Whitmore to show AD the ropes… Davis needs to be taught how to play with heart

 

just can’t happen.

 

I don't think you can run an offense through him cause he's not a good passer at all. All number one options can play make out of a double. AD is a finisher. You can't just give him the ball stagnant we gotta catch him on the move. Our guards were pretty awful at finding him as well.

 

Second half summed in one photo


Can't take the keys from a near 40 year old Bron (I know...I'm rounding for emphasis) when it's a no show for an entire half.

Great first half. Met Joker blow for blow. Then should've stayed in the locker room during half time. Hayes would have made a bigger impact. And that's an embarrassment.

 

I still can't believe we're having these discussions man...0 pts in second half.

Unbelievable...after all that talk over the summer and signing the extension he puts up a dud in the 2nd half and gets outplayed by Jokic who drops another tirple double on his head?

 

This. 0 points in a half is obviously bad, but the expectations for him on offense need to be adjusted in general. AD’s ideal role on this team is to be 08 KG. Provide DPOY level defense and 20-22ish ppg. Finishing plays made by LeBron/our guards and capitalizing on mismatches. You can want him to be more than that offensively, and some nights he will be, but he’s 30 years old and already doesn’t move quite like he did when he got here. He’s not going to become an every night focal point of the offense at this point. He is who he is at this point.

 

Jokic just kicked his a** in the 4th quarter.
I don't know why AD gets in funks like this but he's or Ham has to get him going 1v1 downhill faceup or just speed the game.
Lakers against Jokic did better with Lebron and Rui just pushing the damn pace every time they got a board

 

Same s***, different day

 

Jokic is the worst matchup for him cause of his huge girth advantage. Even Embiid doesn't give him problems like that. We need him guarding someone else so he can roam and help out on Jokic. It's too bad we have no one else who can put a body on him.
