Message: [QUOTE="OrangeDW, post: 3218925, member: 2458"] It’s hard to compare a SG to a PF/C. Both were/are elite players. Like top 3-5 in the game in their primes. I think a difference is that Wade was your standard 6’5 two guard, where Davis is a freak. He’s 6’10-6’11 or whatever and a great shot blocker, but he can also handle guarding a guard on the perimeter should he get switched onto one. What you can do defensively with him is insane. And then he can post up, shoot fairly well from outside, is an effective passer and ball handler for a post player, and a freak athlete running the floor or catching oops. Wade is already a made guy with 3 ‘chips, and Davis hasn’t won a thing. That is a fair point. But I think Davis’s ceiling is higher than Wade’s. It’s higher than almost anybody whose played. Comparable to guys like Garnett and Hakeem in freakish overall ability for 6’11+ guys and career arc. [/QUOTE]
