    A young, physical big that played his best ball when the games mattered the most.

    He improved his jumper as the year went on and when KG went down, he took the opportunity with the increased playing time and played great in the playoffs.

    You did watch the Celtics/Bulls series, didn't you?

    I know you love stats, but sometimes you just have to judge based on what you see with your eyes.

    Edit = red (still/ever?)

    GD - I thought you meant Sheed


    Well, that's up to them.

    I think on the right team, with the right Coach he would be a great asset for a limited number of years.

    I can think of a few teams he'd be better off signing with though.

    San Antonio, Orlando, Cleveland - all at MLE money.

    whoever pays the MLE for Davis will regret it dearly. He isn''t that kind of player.

    As for Davis I would imagine some teams could give him a starting spot. He was outstanding in the playoffs.

    But maybe no one makes the offer?

    Maybe everyone assumes Boston will match?

    Free agency isn't as simple as we all wish it was.

    Those playoff stats aren't too shabby.

    His first round numbers are awesome.

    I knew he was playing very well but didn't realise he put up 18 and 7 in that series. He also played 41 mins per!

    Damn!

    Surely some team will take the chance on him.

    Give Jason Maxiell that team and those minutes and he'd be doing the same thing, probably better.

    Davis is a nice bench player, but not MLE-caliber.

    What do you guys think of Gortat (and my apologies if he was discussed elsewhere)? Obviously he only got limited minutes in Orlando, but I think his game is solid. His Per-36 numbers 11 pts, 13 rebs and 2.28 blocks (and 5 fouls, but the argument can be made he is able to play a bit more loose with his fouls in only getting 12 minutes a game in Orlando).

    At 25, he's an athletic 6'11" defender and rebounder, and I wouldn't have a problem on throwing a 4-year MLE offer his way.

    he's signing an offer sheet with dallas for the full MLE. Old news.

    Why people make such a commitment to a guy based on 2-3 weeks of game film is beyond me.

    Hadn't seen that. It's a risky signing, but most big men are. He's shown the ability to hold his own against the league's better big man, and he's definitely worth taking a chance on. The fact is with as few good big men there are in the league, more will have chances taken on them. Doesn't seem like as much of a mystery to me.
