ED Davis would be a terrible pick imo. He looks like a less athletic-post version of Kevin Durant without a shot.
starting to like Ed Davis as the safe pick to choose.

Jermaine O'Neal? Where did that come from? Davis isn't particularly tall (O'Neal's a 7 footer), he's lanky, and he's incredibly raw. I see no comparison.
Again, why is Davis a better prospect than Larry Sanders? Davis jumps higher, but Sanders is bigger.

Davis is only about an inch shorter. Both have a similar frame and young raw talent coming into the league. Both similar athleticly and shot blocking wise. I think Davis will be a slow bloomer in the league like O'neal was due to both being raw, but will explode on the scene in a few years like O'neal did.

Al Hortford is a better comparison to Ed Davis IMO.
And that's the positive outlook.
He is still grossly undersized at 215 and lacks a real game.
Ed Davis isn't very good IMO. If we're going for a project, why not go for one that has the most potential, Whiteside?

Good point. When I watch highlight videos of Whiteside they tend to leave me more impressed than Davis's. Whiteside made big plays, at a smaller school, but
at least he performed last year. Ed Davis's highlights seem to be few and far between. Davis would still be a fun pick because of the
potential, but I think Whiteside has even more. Either one of these picks would shock me over Aldrich, Babbitt, or Udoh though.
The Jazz are going to play it safe with this lottery pick.
