To be fair, I don't think those were tough lay-ups. His handle wasn't that great either but his explosiveness was definitely impressive. Not sure why people say his athleticism is disappointing

Terrence Jones played well. His role and impact on this Kentucky team are underrated IMO

T.Rob 3 for 11 and is unable to overpower T.Jones and once he gets too close ..Davis "Cleans" him away

One on One Terence can't guard Robinson, that is why they always have Davis helping on the weak side... still Robinson is playing pretty good.

That's the thing about him- sure he doesn't handle the ball like a Brandon Jennings or anything but that first step is explosive as hell and he will get fouled or finish. I love his game.

How would he fair against Griffin (with Jordan backing him)
against Boozer with Noah behind him
against Amare with Chandler behind him

I've seen enough of him that to know he will have a decent handle at the next level, although he hasn't developed a separation move yet. And yes I agree his athleticism is severely underrated here

Better when he has an NBA centre playing beside him.

The finger roll wasn't that tough. But Withey could had easily recover and blocked the shot from behind. I was talking about his rebound putback earlier where he had like 3 defenders behind his back, though.

You will never see the pressure you see in College in NBA...

Davis can accumulate a double double tonight, without even scoring!

Against MKG's lateral defense too.

Exactly, Fred knows. These kids aren't finished products, but the tools on guys like T-Rob and MKG

+5

LOL at ppl passing up Trob to keep a place for Bargs.

MKG's work ethic, strength, aggression, athleticism, first step and bball iQ will eventually lead him to become an allstar. For a guy who can't shoot, he sure can score a lot. On a lesser team, he'd average more than 16+ ppg and everyone would be heralding him as the next franchise changing talent.

We need two picks...

It's convenient how you overlook the fact that he will have 4 other NBA talents behind him as opposed to 4 accountants or firemen.

They really need to replace these scrubs analyst especially sir charles and kenny smith...these scrubs smh. I'd rather pay to listen to Reggie Miller, Steve Smith and Jalen Rose talk.

remember Steely Reserve had Perry Jones III ahead of Anthony Davis? Good times lol.

Let's focus on the wing position(unless AD) and stay away From T.Rob.

He is not for us!

Tattoo BPA on your forehead because that's all we need to focus on at this point.

Pretty much, and some here would have Davis come off the bench for Bargnani :lol:

Davis' suit is oversized like his brows, bro.

Dude no one said that, the last poster said BC would play Davis off the bench to back up Bargs...Well knowing BC...

P.S your avatar scares me a little

If Anthony Davis goes #1 and the Raps get the # 2 pick, who gets drafted?
