    I'll give you Milsap & Zbo although Zbo floats a lot to the perimeter.

    Davis has to get stronger but he has the length, quickness to defend P&R, and instincts to be elite on defense. His motor and athleticism will help him as his skills mature on offense.
    I'm talking about being physical in the paint not just posting up. And D. West is an outstanding offensive post player.

    I'm not saying Davis is trash or will be a bust. I'm saying I'm not seeing a guy with a skill set that's better than the top 6 or 7 guys.

      And why should he have to display "guard skill" at 6-foot-10 with almost an 8-foot wingspan?

      Why does every tall kid have to be like Durant? I know you didn't mention KD but I know that's what people are thinking since they bring up offense so much?

      Throw Serge Ibaka in last year's draft and tell me that he wouldn't be Top 3?

      And who says he has to be a leaper when he has incredible defensive instincts and length? Do you see Marcus Camby jumping out the gym to block shots?

      This is crazy. Who are these big, bruising PFs that are in the league that he should be worried about posting him up?

      Boozer, Griffin, Amare, Love?

      Most PFs outside of the few like LaMarcus Aldridge are settling for jumpshots nowadays.

      Davis will be fine. Get your focus off his weight.
      He's been pumping that weight argument(which is the only one he has) this whole time even though that was debunked earlier in this thread.

      He talks about how others have the potential but yet with Davis, he doesn't see it. Classic definition of being hypocritical but I'm not surprised.

          You guys made the weight thing major in this discussion. My point is it's a legit concern. I never once said he will bust because his inability to add weight never.

            That's laughable on so many fronts.

                  Drummond's floor is in 3-4 years he's not playing because he's not giving any effort.

                    Don't worry though because when he busts out the league because of his inability to add weight, you'll probably get another number 1 pick so just look at this as being ya'll number 2, number 1 pick before ya'll actual number 1, number 1 pick comes in a few years.

                        Who do you think Celtics who pick?

                        Definitely think it will be a SF and C because of Rondo, Bradley, and Bass. PF is good once Green comes back.

                        I think the SF needs to be a scoring type with athleticism. Rondo can score, but doesnt have a consistent jumper and FT game. As for Center, I think they need a tall guy that can block shots and pull down rebs with ease. They dont have great Rebounderss on the team.

                          I was thinking Leonard for Boston but his stock has risen so idunno if he'll fall that far, maybe Melo or Ezeli?

                            DJ just got a huge extension. Does he have any semblance of offensive skill? He got an extension because he's a 7fter who can block shots, rebound, and score of putbacks. If the Center position wasn't the weakest in the NBA and weakest its been in years he wouldn't even be in the league.

                              Well this statement right here proves that you've never seen Andre Drummond play.

                              You're just enamored with his measurables.

                              Name 3 games you've watched UConn play last season...

                                I think they go Meyers Leonard and Moe Harkless (if they're still on the board). If both are gone, Fab Melo and Quincy Miller.

                                They need a shooter but Bradley is too good not to be starting at SG in the backcourt with Rondo.
