I really don't, yall just enjoy taking words out of context. Me saying a player is bad at this, this, and this somehow means I'm saying he'll be a bad player. Every player has their flaws.

Whats EVERY flaw Anthony Davis has then?

Well offensively, he's too in love with the midrange jumper when he's not ready to take as many as he takes. Lots of times he'll get the ball and could probably take a dribble or two and get into the paint for an easier opportunity but instead he either just takes a bad shot or tries to be a wing and puts the ball on the floor a few times but doesn't make any progress towards the rim, instead going left or right then takes the shot. Offensively, that's the biggest flaw I see with him. He's real streaky. He really knows positioning and can find the opening in the defense to get an easy dunk or layup but he doesn't do it enough. He also needs to develop a better low post game. The only real moves he has right now are the fade away over his right shoulder or the hook, normally over his left. He takes the fade away a whole lot more than the hook though. He has a tendency to commit charges on p&r's because sometimes he'll get the ball too early and has no idea what to do with it so he barrels into the defender. He also tries to put the ball in the basket to quickly sometimes, like a alley oop or offensive rebound that he gets a hold of and tries to put it in before he hits the ground. If he would just regain himself and then go back up he'd convert more of those.

Defensively, he gets lost on rotations a couple times a game but it's not bad for a 19 year old rookie. His biggest flaw here is probably just relying on his athletic gifts to much. He doesn't really box out very often, normally just tries to use his athleticism to get to the ball first. You watch him and he's just standing in the paint not putting a body on anyone. He's a great help side defender but his on ball defense in the post isn't very good right now either when he can't use his length. Guys can easily just back him down or seal him and post up a few steps from the rim. He also bites on fakes too much, there's a clip on youtube where Tim Duncan was backing him down and shimmied right and got Davis completely out of position for a easy layup. I've seen some guys push him right out of bounds because he just can't hold his own yet. Also, and this is even more frustrating than the boxing out thing for me, he leaves his feet for EVERYTHING. He did it twice tonight. Everytime he contests a jump shot he leaves his feet, everytime.

at least bosox most of the time breaks them down. nola will write a huge block of text that no one reads.
