He is 8th in the nation in DBPM and is 3rd in def rating while committing less than 3 fouls per game.

That's what I thought!

I can also add 3rd in NCAA in blocks DR% is the highest of any prospect lol he is for sure a good defender and has the motor and drive I like he loves basketball.

LOL at this idea that Bamba has superstar potential and JJJ doesn’t.

Robert Williams played a good game today. Forgot all about that guy honestly, he should've declared last year to maximize his $$$.

That's due to paint protection and his ability to switch the PnR and hedge. I am talking about post defense.

Thibowolves defense is more like Tumbleweeds! sigh.

That draft pick could be gone by the end of the night. Then again, it could be 17th.

When you say incredibly dumb stuff like Bagley may average 28 and 14 after a couple years, it's hard to take your opinion seriously at all.

28 and 14 is wild, but I do believe Bagley has the highest offensive ceiling in the draft. Motor, athleticism, work ethic, decent stroke, touch and vision. I see some AD in the kid.

[KB21]

Now I have seen it all.  There are no similarities between Marvin Bagley and Anthony Davis.

Bagley’s absolute ceiling is Amare Stoudemire, who was a great complimentary piece but needed Steve Nash to maximize his offense.  

Stoudemire was a terrible defender.

Some Bagley Highlights from the Tournament...

 

Jaren Jackson Tournament Highlights...

Amare was nothing like Davis offensively. Neither were great passers, but could shoot a little, monsters around the hoop, big athletes, great face up games, great role men, didn't do anything fancy post move wise but got the job done. Nothing alike at all.

I did not compare Amare to Davis.

I compared Bagley to Davis, you insinuated that was unreasonable, and then said that Bagley's ceiling was Amare.

That’s right.  Bagley, at his best, will be similar to Amare.

Who was similar to Davis offensively... whatever, not worth arguing.

3rd in NCAA in blocks?

Davis is a legit NBA defensive player of the year type.  If you want to compare someone to him, it should be one that shares that kind of defensive ability.  Davis is also a better pure post scorer than Amare and Marvin.  He’s got a better frame and is much longer.
