WTF are you even saying? We're comparing Barkley's MVP season to Davis season this past year. I'm not mixing stats and that wasn't his best year from three. How did I cherry-pick his best year from three when it wasn't his best year from three? Lol dude.. stop while you're behind.
Fair point he did have one better year. So You are taking him at 29. The rest of my points still stand.
Lets compare those years then.
Davis scored more points(per 100 possessions 6 more points per game), shot better from the free throw line and got to the free throw line more, Turned the ball over much less, blocked way more shots. Most of all Davis was a far superior athlete and defender all around. He has the ball handling skills to bring the ball up and drive.
Barkely did shoot a better TS% of 1.6% better, he did rebound at a higher rate of 0.9% better.
Its not a head and shoulders gap but I think Davis is better. I also think Davis would bother Barkley a lot matched up and negate a lot of what made him good.
Davis standing much taller and much more athletic would be a nightmare matchup for Barkley.
