With our 10th pick, at 6’10” and 220 lbs., from Kentucky: Anthony Davis
Highlights:
Although young, he’s an elite talent-- #1 Pick in the 2012 draft
Rotation player for the 2012 Olympic Team, picked ahead of Derek Favors and Demarcus Cousins
Really, really long with explosiveness defensively and great timing on blocks
Able to play either forward position and challenge shots anywhere on the floor
Runs the court and handles lobs better than most other shot blockers
Should rebound adequately
Scores over the top of defenders in the post
Has that distracting and really irritating uni-brow
Enables us to maintain a ‘Block-Your-A**-and-Run-Out’ line-up when Amare or KG takes a breather:
5 Wilt
4 KG/Amare
3 Davis
2 ‘Nique/Latrell
1 Penny
This helps speed the game up and gives us an advantage with individual match-ups.
