Anthony Davis Or Kevin Durant

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Some will discount how good of a dude he is but it's a factor as well. Davis may be the same way but when your best player is also your hardest worker it makes it easy to coach, unless you are a complete moron like Brooks is.

If you substituted Durant's name with any other player, including Lebron, and I think the results would be *close to* the same.


I don't think this is an indictment of Durant.

He is clearly the greatest Offensive talent in the NBA.

But, Davis is barely scratching the surface and is clearly the best 2-way player that has come along in a while.

....and he's only 21.

.....and still improving.

Goodness.

I don't think AD is quite there yet on defense but I would take KD right now

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

Let me rephrase this. Right now I'd take durant. If I were starting a team, I'd start it with Davis. I also think Davis with have a higher peak.

Davis is Durant but taller, better defensively, better post player, better shot blocker,better rebounder with less range.

Durant is an elite perimeter player?? Who's he shutdown? Does Durant even play D? Durant is a shooter. That's all he does. Tell me what else Durant does? There is more to bball than just scoring.

When you talk about a complete player.. It's Davis

I disagrees with the bolded.

 

[SJ76]

Same size/same frame is what I was saying. KD can dribble better, but it's not like he's a PG. He's a SF/SG. He has more range than AD. That is all

 

[SJ76]

Don't get me wrong, KD is an assassin from outside and can score. But you need more than that to win a title. Give me a guy that can do it all and let's play ball. Can't win titles on jump shots.

I can't recall the last time I saw KD back someone down in the paint or stopped anyone on D.

Durant shoots, passes, rebounds, defends a bit. What do you mean he just shoots? Lol

 

[SJ76]

Oh KD grabs a few boards and passes.
Defends a bit. Wow


AD will throw your shit in the 5th row. Averages how many boards? Is a defensive beast and he can score. KD is a scorer. He can't stop anyone and hasnt. Doesn't go to the hole cuz he loves the jumper.

Hambomb you love the jumper too. I get it.

AD is a beast on both sides of the court. KD is not. Pretty simple

 

[ChrisperJ10]

You all smoking crack. KD is the second best player in the world.

This! Look at Davis' clutch statistics.

Not even close. Durant is the best, untill James gets healthy.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

You guys are insane. AD is the better player already at age 21. He is the most dominant player on both ends in the NBA RIGHT NOW. Not even talking about the future either, because he has that locked up as well.

Did you not see his double-clutch game-winning three against the Thunder in OKC without Holiday? He literally took on the entire OKC team by himself (with a little help from Tyreke) and won.

 

[ChrisperJ10]

Yeah Anthony Davis has done what in the playoffs? Against who? Durant would eat the kid alive. No doubt Monty would put him against Durant for the whole series.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Davis doesn't have Westbrook and Ibaka on his team....

Remember KD's first few years in OKC?! They were PITIFUL. It's a process. AD has carried that team with little help. IT'S HIS THIRD YEAR IN THE NBA FOR CHRIST'S SAKE.

Yeah. Shit happens kiddo. ..

Exactly! The best players go through the BS!

 

[ChrisperJ10]

Stinger! Real talk... would you take Davis over Durant to start A franchise?

 

[ChrisperJ10]

I'm A big brow fan, don't get me wrong. However, Durant is 1B when it comes to the best in the world...

Who cares if he throws it in the 5 th row? It's the offensive players ball anyway. And obviously don't watch basketball if you think durant is a shooter lol

 

[The Derski]

I'm taking KD and it ain't really close. Davis is the real deal. KD is on his own pedestal. How good are the Pelicans? Maybe 8 seed? Thunder are legit contenders. If Durant was on Phillly they would be in the title hunt. And don't bring up Westbrick because he needs KD more than KD needs him...

I take KD
