Let me be the first to say AD doesn’t strike me as a sure thing.  He’s too light in the lower body.  His upper body isn’t the problem.  I’m calling it now, T Robinson, if he goes to Charlotte or Washington, will be the shining star out of this draft.  Physically gifted, and his 10-15 foot jumper is only getting better!  AD will make help, but TRob will change a franchise.  Don’t sleep on Bradley Beal either.  I think he’s a sleeper 10 time allstar! We shall see…

 You aren’t the 1st to say.  Or the second.  Or the third . . . 

I think Davis is almost underrated by some posters on here, with everybody distancing themselves from the absurd extremes in hype he is receiving elsewhere.

 You know he has not finished growing right?

[JoeWolf1]

 ^You don’t know that as a fact.  Every 18 or 19 year old isn’t still growing.

[TyroberParticipant]

He has wide shoulders and looks like he has the ability to gain some muscle so I do not think he will stay at 220 his whole career.

Why would u say people are sleeping on Beal,when alot of people are saying he might go number 2?

I like Robinson’s game,he seems to me to be a nice role player,not a franchise type player..Becuz he cant create his own plays and he’s not a good ball handler..His game is mostly based on using his strength and hardwork…

I love Davis potential, upside and all around game alot more than i do Robinson….

[JoeWolf1]

I absoluetley agree with you there.  He will get stronger and gain muscle, but I got the impress you were saying he was not finished growing taller.  If Durant can bulk up to 230-235, I don’t see any reason why Davis can’t hit 240-245.

You can only speculate that.  The majority of people I’ve known throughout my life, many being tall basketball players, stop growing in high school.  Only a small minority grew another inch at 18 or 19.  Just because Paul George did it, doesn’t mean every prospect is going to keep growing taller.

@RUDEBOY, also Robinson’s ball handling is on par with Blake Griffins’.  He can beat a guy off the dribble on a pick and roll or operate in the post and on the baseline no problem.  His 15 footer definately needs a lot of refinement, though.

I agree w/ Davis being overhyped to a degree. He’s a very good prospect, but I don’t think he’s the "best prospect since LeBron" like some people have been saying.

I can see Thomas Robinson having a better rookie season than Davis because his body is more NBA-ready, but I think Davis will be the better long-term prospect.

[TyroberParticipant]

 @Joewolf. Oh yeah. He might grow an inch or so, but I might filling out with weight. My bad bud.

He was asked to play a limited role for a (NBA stacked college team)… When he gets to the NBA they will play around his strengths, he can handle the ball, shoot, pass and play defense… Coming out of college all Blake Griffin can do was dunk, hell all can do in the NBA is dunk but I see people on this site saying AD wont compare, give me a break… He has the work ethic and attitude to be great and he is very humble doing it… How is it that Clevland is willing to give up everything to get him??? Every Gm wants him??? Every scout says he is a cant miss??? But just the people on this site says he is overhyped, obviously a lot of you are opinionated non NBA talent evaluators… KG was skinnier than AD coming out of highschool, Hell Dwight Howard was frail and clumsy coming out but with effort, attitude and dedication in practice, YOU GET BETTER at your craft…

WE PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!!!!

 I’ll give you two guys where being thin didn’t hurt them coming into the league. Garnett and Durant.

Also it’s not like Davis is coming out of high school… Guy came out from collage and took game over at his size now.

One more player came to mind… Bosh
