http://espn.go.com/nba/draft2012/st...ts-win-draft-lottery-secure-no-1-overall-pick I guess everyone's expecting Davis from Kentucky to go #1? Does he change the game for New Orleans? I think with Mr. Benson buying the team, this is absolute perfect timing, like the shit was rigged. (like the NBA was thanking the Bensons for purchasing a failing franchise) Jordan looked pissed btw.
Eff Jordan and congrats to the Hornets! David Stern is welcome in the city, unlike some other commissioner.
this is unreal. I haven't even allowed myself to fantasize about this happening...when the thought entered my mind, which it did a few times, I immediately pushed it out as crazy and yeah, its Davis and then a tier below him, its everybody else from Sporting News: about Davis, one general manager said: “He can help a team to the playoffs right away He’s as much a sure thing as you can get.”
"Anthony Davis is a future All-Star," ESPN analyst Jay Bilas said by phone Tuesday. "I. don't have a lot of question marks about him. I think he's going to continue to get.better and better."
USA Today: ESPN draft insider Chad Ford said in an e mail that executives from all 13 teams with a shot at the No. 1 pick have told him they would take Davis first. That's a pretty unusual consensus with the draft a month away.
Unbelievable. It's actually hard to not be a conspiracy theorist about the nba lottery but whatever. I don't follow basketball but they say this kid is a cut above do it's great to have him in NO
Sports Illustrated: One of the West general managers said Davis "is probably going to be better than Blake Griffin," and his GM colleague upped the ante by saying he expects him to be better than 14-time All-Star and future Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett. "There's not one doubt in my mind that he's going to be way better than Blake Griffin," the second GM said. "I don't even think it's going to be close I think he might end up being a little better than KG."
ESPN’s Jimmy Dykes: Dykes is equally as excited about Davis heading to the NBA, saying that he believes he will be one of the top three players of all time. He feels that Davis has all the makings of the quintessential NBA standout. “Had Kevin Garnett gone to college, this is what he would look like as a freshman, and that is what Anthony Davis is going to look like…he will be in the top two or three all time in the NBA…he is going to be built similar…He can knock down 16, 17, 18 foot shots, he can run like a deer…he is a bona fide NBA all-star right off the bat starter…he has all in intangibles"
