Who do you take?

In the midst of the Westbrook thread, I'd like to see what the popular opinion here is of who would be taken first to start a team completely from scratch.

 

Depends on a ton of factors. All things being equal, LeBron.

 

But, based on contract, age, etc. right now, it's easily Anthony Davis. 21 years old only in his third year and he's already on this list.

Amazing how OKC was gifted 3 of the top 7/8 players in the league but screwed it up.

 

They haven't screwed up the Westbrook/Durant combo yet but you know it's only a matter of time.

 

Also shout out to the Pelicans for drafting Anthony Davis and hurrying their rebuild too fast and capping themselves out just short of the West playoffs every season.

If we're talking about giving a team the best chance at winning immediately, I think anyone would be a complete idiot to suggest anyone either than LeBron James. But if we're talking about I want to go with a younger guy I'll take anthony davis or westbrook, while also giving consideration to Andrew wiggins (I think he's going to develop into something very very special)

if you pick anyone but LeBron, step away from your keyboard.. cbarrier90 has some substance with the age factor but I still feel like LeBron has another 5 years of top flight bball in him..

 

I dont think people really understand what we are seeing.. when it's all said and done: MJ, Kobe and LeBron will be the Top 3 ever to do it and it won't even be close.

I'll never get over the fact that we should have had Anthony Davis but got screwed by the lottery

Ok, you can pick Lebron and get that great 5 years left in him, but I'm going to pick Davis and have him run my franchise for 13+ years at a high performance. I understand how great Lebron is, but we are talking about someone you can build a dynasty with. Lebron doesn't have that much time. And when it's all said and done I think Davis will be at least the 2nd best PF of all time. Need to see how many rings he wins to compare him with Duncan.

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      Crazy stat

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
