Curious as to what everyone thinks. I choose AD personally. Giannis is a close second, but I believe if AD was drafted elsewhere, he'd be even more terrifying.

Is the glass half-full or half-empty?
It's based on your perspective, quite simply

Giannis. @isTheBrowHurt twitter account exists for a reason... there have been too many seemingly random health scares over time (the oh no he’s exiting with injury kind, oh thank heavens he’s fine)

AD - unmatched at his position in the league.

Giannis isn't unmatched --> Lebron, Kawhi, (hopefully Brown and Tatum).

AD, but it's close.


I'd take either or both! ::)

AD because he basically has not weaknesses that can be exploited.

AD and it's not close. Giannis needs to develop a jump-shot before he can be mentioned alongside the best players in the game.

AD as because his gaming isn't limited to trying to make straight drives to the hole and he is a better defender.

Davis' little nagging injuries a bit of a concern.

I'd take Davis, but its a lot closer than people make it seem on here. Giannis' ability to create for others is way above Davis'. His shooting is better than people give him credit for too.

Giannis ...starting over


I would rather have Davis to go with Tatum , Irving and Brown.

Yep. AD is the best scoring big man in the league, one of the best rebounders in the league, and in my mind the most impactful and best defensive player in the league
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

The litany of varied injuries as well as the two-time knee issue scare the crap out of me. Davis is a better talent and fit for us, BUT how long will he last?

GA for me. Physically, he has grown and become stronger. He doesn’t look fragile.

AD as long as he stays healthy. Imagine if he played on a team that had really good wings.

Like perhaps... ::)

Do New Orleans even have a wing?

What could New Orleans do to get Butler?

And my choice is Davis as well. I just don't see any weaknesses in his game. He's incredible.
