Just so we're all on the same page, we're talking about what happens in the 10% chance that Howard does not go to LA for Bynum, right? I mean, that is more or less destined to happen.
I think I'd rather have Davis than Bynum. Sure there is a lot of risk that Davis doesn't ever develop, but you pay him about a third the money for the next four years, and you already know Bynum is going to take games off.
Really? I mean, it's a star's league, right? You already know that Bynum when healthy is one of the 2-3 best centers in the league. I'm not saying I think Davis will fail, but thought-to-be-safe rookies flame out all the time.
It is more than just health with Bynum. I mean he was healthy pretty much all year, but only decided to play every so often. He has clear attitude issues and is a health risk. He also only has one year left on his contract and is going to get a max deal. I mean the money is reason enough to prefer Davis without even getting into the attitude and health. Not to mention, Davis has a pretty strong skill set and is perhaps the best athletic big man to come into the draft ever and certainly right there with guys like Howard (if not the best).
