Anthony Davis's expectations on offense are too high

[Ruzious]

I think he will be a great defensive, but isn't good enough on offense to do more than 24+ ppg. He is way more likely to do 14-18 ppg. He will still be an all-star, but will never meet the expectations people have of him in the offensive end.

My gut feeling is that he'll never be good enough to get more than 30 rebounds a game.

Or 15 blocks a game.

So...what you're saying is maybe Beal goes #1?

Now, that would be going out on a limb. And the limb wouldn't be a leg.

Whoever thinks he can become a 24 ppg scorer is crazy.

I wouldn't expect it, but he's coordinated and has a ton of physical gifts. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility.

Looking at the improvements that he did during the season, I think there is still a lot of room for improvement in that area. He is still discovering his jumpshot but his mechanics are solid and has range on his shot, he even made some three pointers late this year.

I think he has the potential to be a 20 ppg scorer if he works a lot (and he will do for sure) and if he lands in a team with a grat point guard it could be much easier for him.

I know Blake Griffin isn't the best example, but if Griffin could average 22+ ppg a year removed out of college, I don't think it is out of the question Anthony Davis could one day match those numbers.

Davis in my opinion can get a good chunk of his points off transition, hustle, and being a superior athlete alone. Coming into the league he will be one of the quickest interior players and have one of the better face up games for a big man. Davis' back to basket moves are a work in progress, but in one season with limited offensive touches, he has shown excellent progress.

There aren't many dominant young interior defenders in today's game and I believe Davis will flourish because of that.
