Nope, he's about halfway to the player he will become. Still has a ton of improvements to make.

I think CC does this just to keep up appearances at this point. He's developed a character, and he's committed.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

No doubt

My character is always right, and, yes, I'm very committed to that.

LA is going to get made fun of and be the victim of a ton of jokes for what they are doing with Jordan, but if it was my team and a top player was thinking about leaving Id hope they'd try to pursuade him up to the last minute too.

I only make fun of LA teams with Kobe on them

I mean, who the fuck wants to live in Texas anyway.

I think CC's point is that 50% is way too low. Davis is already a very good offensive player, and will absolutely improve without a doubt, but if he improves by the 200% margin that Nola is suggesting, he would be the undisputed GOAT
 
 
If he is "halfway", then his baseline starting numbers is from his rookie year.
 
PER 36: 16.9ppg, 75.1% FT, 51.6% FG, 55.9% TS
 
Then with the halfway point being today's stats, his "completed" numbers would be the following
 
PER 36: 34.9ppg, 75.1% FT, 55.5% FG, 62.5% TS
 
and that's just quantifying offensive stats, not including rebounding and defense. If he is actually only at 50% development, he will be the greatest player of all time, without discussion.
 
 
 
I'd say he's around 75-80% of his offensive skill right now, which is still damn impressive

 

[jonathanlambert33]

His offensive game is still way to incomplete to say he's 75-80% of the way there. I'd say 60-65% at the absolute most. I'm the biggest AD fan, but it's amazingg that he went for 24 a night in basically spot up jumpers, putbacks, rim running, and moving along the baseline.

He can't take more than one dribble, or it ends in a terrible shot, a charge, stumbling, or a turnover. He has an improving but limited post game, he doesn't have counter moves off those post moves yet, step backs and other dribble moves like that, yet to display his three ball, and so much more. He's barely scratched the surface, imagine on the damage he will do when he can take 3-4+ dribbles and be effective.

 

[Pugz]

idk how anyone can say so and so is about 50% of the player they'll be. too much to factor in.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I'd be so in favor of DJ going back to LA if that meant the end of the moratorium period.

 

[elcheato]

I'm in favor of him going back because its hilarious. All the outrage from people will be pricless

 

[Mexi]

The NBA needs to let guys sign July 1st instead of just verbal commitments

its so stupid

 

[CameronCrazy06]

There's a huge difference between offensive repertoire and offensive potential

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I only make fun of LA teams with Kobe on them

I only hate Cleveland teams with LeBron on them so it's cool

 

[elcheato]

I honestly can't wait to see Bware's take on this DeAndre situation.

Hot takes will be had

 

[elcheato]

I only hate Cleveland teams with LeBron on them so it's cool

Kyrie plays for the Cavs and D'Angelo for the Lakers. Its quite ironic

 

[Mexi]

If he wants to win, i say stay in LA

If he wants to spread his wings and get touches, go to dallas

 

[Mexi]

Dallas has NO point guard lol

Poor Cubes. Left in the dust again
