    Whiteside is a legit 7-footer and one of the best rim-protectors around. Nobody thinks either T-Rob or Davis is anywhere close to that.

    Davis is like 6'11 and can block shots. That's pretty close.

    Ed Davis is nice when he is getting quality mins but if you start to share his mins with multiple players his performance dips. Not a bad move imo.

    PER 36 he's a 12/10 guy with a 17 PER. Good defensive player can guard both PF/ C

    Good signing

    I prefer smart signings to big names any day. Toronto spent more on Carroll than we've spent on Aminu/Davis combined. I'll be curious to see which is more productive next year.

    Some of you have been asking for a PF who is not soft, plays D, rebounds, blocks shots, and grabs rebounds. That is who Ed Davis is. Between he and Plumlee (and hopefully Vonleh) our bigs are starting to look like that prototype you wanted.

    What we are still missing is a SF who can score at will..............But really if Leonard continues to improve, and CJ and Dame stay healthy, we still are in the same boat we were with LMA. And that is a star-wing player i.e Kahwi.

    Harris would be nice, but more than likely we will have to wait for someone else next year. But we are adding some athletic bigs who can rebound and play D, even if they are not stars.

    maybe with his offense, but not with the shotblocking. I was very impressed with some of his highlights making several blocks with his off hand - not an easy thing to do.
