Could one of ya'll breakdown what the Grizz can expect out of Davis, from a Raptors fan's perspective?

I've been getting asked by my friends all night about Ed Davis, but honestly, all I know about his development in Toronto is that it's been slow and disappointing. I watched a lot of him in college, and he torched my Spartans a good three times in two years, but even when you're a diehard NBA fan, you don't really catch a lot of Toronto games.

As far as Rudy Gay goes, he might fit in well with the Raptors. He's an empty scorer that is always looking for his shot first, but its sounds like Toronto could use a player like that. He also played with Lowry for two and a half seasons, so at least there's some familiarity there.

The biggest problem that most Memphis fans had with Gay was how he'd consistently bring our offense to a halt every time the ball was in his hands. Our two best offensive players were both post players, yet as soon as Gay would get the ball, there wouldn't be any further ball movement... Gay would jack up a shot, usually one that was ill-advised.

I say good riddance to him as a Grizzlies fan. I think he's addition by subtraction for us, but if you make him the focal point of your offense, he might be less frustrating to watch.

Why did the Grizz want Davis anyways? He's going to be stuck on the bench behind ZBo and Gasol. He's basically the same as Darrell Arthur?
