You don't need to be 240-250 to play PF/C and even have a solid career in the NBA anymore.
    1st not in any of those statements do I say he won't make it in the NBA. I'm saying he won't be a franchise/perennial all-star player.

    2nd just because people quote a few rare expection doesn't make it the rule. Plus I've already stated why I think those guys had/ are having great success while I think Davis will struggle.
    You looking at the Chair MAN!

    Number may not tell the whole story ,but they never lie either.

      But I'm putting words in people's mouths though.

      Anyway to finally kill that issue, when are these UK Dudes going to announce if they are entering the Draft or not?
      They have a 7 PM presser to announce they will heading on to make millions. 4 are locks for the 1st round and Lamb may sneak in there as well(may be the best shooter in the draft).

            2002-2003
            PPG: 23.0
            RPG: 13.4
            APG: 6.0

            2003-2004
            PPG: 24.2
            RPG: 13.9
            APG: 5.0
            Normally I'd agree without blinking an eye but since Kevin Love has somehow found a way to match Garnett's mid-career stats I don't think anything is out of the question anymore.

              Funny, you skip over my questions again but can't wait to post back to back responses to PPM.

              There's a reason why we haven't let this go... your argument and arguing of it have been severely lacking. I've been trying to have the "discussion" with you about what you claim are reasons and you just ignore anything that doesn't work? lol

                Could say haven't we learned anything from the Fab 5?

                Combining that and the decision... lets hope they cancel each other out rather than cause a huge implosion for the making of the next 30 for 30 years from now.

                        Answer your own question. You have already gone out of the way to call my logic flawed. Answering your question is pointless because you aren't looking for a legit answer you're justing looking for something else to point at and say "that's flawed". The answer to your question is so obvious why answer it.

                          Don't even know what this means. My question is how do you know Garnett came into the league stronger? That's the basis for your entire argument about him vs Davis at this point in his career so I ask, how do you know?

                          Now I ask, how am I supposed to answer how you know something? Maybe the answer is really that obvious to you, but not to those of us trying to figure out where you got that information from so help us out.

                              I think he has to be a SG and I like his chances more so than Dion Waiters at least.

                                First off, I dont watch too much college bball. So I could be way off here...

                                But I think he is going to be damn good in the NBA. Im actually surprised that he isnt ranked any higher, because what little I've seen of him, he looks like a number one option kind of guy.
