2012 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Anthony Davis
Position: Power Forward
Size: 6-10, 220
School: Kentucky, Freshman
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Summary: Davis is loaded with ability and has not even scratched the surface on his potential, which is why he is a candidate to be the top overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft. Davis is not ready to be a major contributor right away, but not many guys his size are blessed with that type of athleticism, length, and versatility. There is potential for him to be a very special player at the next level if he continues to get stronger and develop his all-around game.
Player Comparison: A young Marcus Camby. Due to his size and length, Davis is a tremendous shot-blocker and rebounder like Camby has been his entire career. Davis is more skilled with the ball than Camby ever has been, but not quite the post scorer. That should come over time for Davis, who has greater upside than Camby did.
