    He seems to have good feet and are always active. Plus his freakishly long arms , it'd be very easy to make moves and dream shake.

    Weird options. He would be a superstar on the level slightly below KD and Lebron. He still needs to learn how to play good team defense (their coach sucks)

    He's one of the top 15 players in the game today, if not top 10.

    Dude plays great man defense, and can shoot from anywhere inside the 3pt line. I'll say this about both Blake Griffin and Brow: If they can develop a good/great post game, they will be in MVP contention every single year.

    Davis started as a guard, meaning he has the cat-like quickness necessary to even begin approaching learning Hakeem's moves. It would be a good fit for him to start training with the Dream, but it would still take him years to approach that level.

    I think he'll win multiple DPOYs and at least 1 MVP.

    he's already pretty damn good.

    20/10 shooting 52% from the field and 77% from the line with 2.9 blocks a game :eek:

    before the draft people knew he would be a good defensive player but the questions were about his offense and it's far more advanced than i thought he would be at this stage of his career.

    He's going to be better than Dwight in a year or two.

    Looks like he has better chance to be GOAT than Lebron.

    I have a feeling he will go down as another what if. He's always injured. Sad if that happens, he looks like he can be something special.

    I'm sure training with Dream could be helpful and all, but I don't understand the other-worldly expectations of the progress a player could make after a session with him. Most improvement comes from the work a player puts in himself. And the best teachers are often not the people who were the best in doing.

    Will be an HOF player - it's a shame he's buried in New Orleans and people never see him. It will be an even bigger shame if he heads to the Lakers.

    He's already there, he's a PG in a PF body, and can defend 1-5. In 4 years he will be in the Top 2 of the MVP race.

    Not sure if he will be a dominant low post guy. In one of his interviews, he mentioned that he patterns his game to Dirk's.
