in the 2014-2015 season AD will have to stay on the court to even be considered ahead of David Lee, Z-Bo, and Dirk... A player cannot become the best at a position injured. The real question is, can AD's frame handle the banging the PF position requires? Right now the answer is no it cannot.
He's not big enough to be a low-post player for 82 games. He has the skills to be an outside/in player, like Dirk, but he doesn't have the range yet. Defensively, Davis is very good on the weak side, but straight-up he gets abused in the post. He's a very unique player, but his history of injury would be a concern to me if I am the Pelicans.
I would rank them: Exum, Lebron, Wiggins. Exum is younger than Lebron and would fit better than Wiggins. Also I don't want to be a Lebron team. LA for Exum Neil, that's the deal!
I remember posters saying Ricky Rubio was going to be an MVP within a few years of being drafted. Call me jaded. Some Aussie who hasn't proven anything in a real league makes me skeptical. Also, the smart move for the team drafting Exum would be to get Lillard in a trade.
This is the stuff that will come back at you during next season. The prognosticators usually forget them, but the ones that have to endure their drivel are made to suffer.
So basically we would be as good as we were last season with LA. Considering the money saved and the potential growth of Exum going into his second season. It would be likely that the team could easily be back into the playoffs after a one season hiatus.
You've told that lie at least 5 times this week. The story gets bigger. Now, it's MVP. I always posted that he was unimpressive every time I watched him on TV playing in Europe, that he was just Sergio plus 2 inches, etc. Almost all posters were unimpressed. So let's see a link where people say he'll be MVP.
