Strengths:[/u] Anthony Davis has a good game that many scouts love to see. He plays hard and plays smart. Very good defender that gives players trouble with his length. Will block shots and protect the rim. Good scorer on the inside, can play with his back to the basket, or face up and take it to the rim. Very talented offensive rebounder, loves to follow his teammates shots and clean up misses. Runs the floor very well for a big man and has solid court vision as well.
Weaknesses:[/u] Not a very consistent shooter, or else he may be able to play some SF. Needs to bulk up a lot to play PF effectively at the next level. Not great at battling for position on the defensive boards. He's not going to wow anyone with his vertical.
Scout's Take:[/u] Anthony Davis has always been on the radar for a lot of teams, but many feel that Davis doesn't have the upside many of the other prospects have. He hasn't reached his ceiling yet, but he's not far from it. However, his defensive ability could lead him to becoming a good fourth or fifth starter for a squad.
Comparison:[/u] Josh Smith (Less Athleticism)
Ratings:[/u] Anthony Davis PF 6'9'' 210 22 B C- C B C+ B Syracuse Sr.
