This kid is a "block" machine. Back to back games with at least 8 blocks.

Tonight: 22 points, 9 boards, 8 blocks, and 4 assists.


He did it in 28mins against the 76ers too. He is a monster


He has such strong impact on both sides of the game. I don't know if anyone in the 2014 draft class will be better than him.

His jump shot form is amazing for a guy his size. Looks like a guard shooting it.


Apparently he used to be a guard and had a ridiculous growth spurt.

He's not #1, but considering what he is doing at his age I would only trade him for LeBron or Durant.

Davis is amazing, only 20 years old averaging 20/10 3 blocks a game. Arguably the best Big man now, a couple more seasons he possibly might be the best player in the league.

Anthony Davis is one of the best investments in the league. Franchise altering type of draft pick.

Probably the most coveted player outside of Lebron and Durant in the league?

He'd go 3 in a fantasy draft right now I think if a GM could have any player.

This guy is the real deal. Other teams will have to wait quite awhile before getting a shot at him.

Turned 21 two weeks ago.

Over the past 8 he's averaging 32 & 14. In only his 2nd year he's arguably the best big man in the game, he's like straight out of MyPlayer

That's really really impressive. At his age, in his second year. It looks like we have a future top top guy, probably HOF or stuff like that. Not just a great players, but more than that.

It's easy to think about top picks who failed but man if Lakers could grab a guy with that impact...

Howard is still the best. No other big impacts the game like he does on both sides of the ball. But I still wouldn't trade Davis for him.

Joakim Noah is the best big in the game.

I like Noah. I don't think he impacts the game like Howard does though.

I wouldn't trade Davis for Noah either. If Davis was the games 3rd best player next year I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.

Davis isn't a two way player?
