Sorry for coming into the conversation late, but I think Davis will be real good, but I'm not willing to gut the team and all it's assets for that one man. I love what's brewing here. I'm higher on Hayward then most. I think he can be a star in the mold of Stockton. A guy who will play winning basketball compete all out every night, and help the offense flourish.
Favors also has potential to be a star. Long athletic big who also has power, with a chance to be a DPOY type player. I think next year he will be ready to start, and the year after his coming out party.
Kanter I don't think will be a star but very solid big that can thrive on a championship team. He can be an elite rebounder tough post defender, and has the potential to be an enforcer on this team. I see his offensive ceiling as a 15 points a night scorer at the most.
For me Burks is harder to predict. I'd like to call him our closer of the future but I think he needs to be more consistent with his jumper. I do however see him being a guy who can put pressure on the defense, and a guy who can come to the rescue when the offense stalls at times. The one reason I can see him being a very good player is his ability to rebound, and his ability to get to the foul line, which should help him be a more efficient offensive player, and isn't a bad defender, and just a hired gun on offense. I need to see more before I can say he has a chance to be star caliber.
I view our assets as the two picks (assuming we get both picks this year) Jefferson, Millsap (can he except a bench roll at some point) Harris, and Bell as an expiring contract. I feel a better way to go is to use these assets to build around the young 4. Trade up for MKG or buy a later pick for a pg or whatever, but I like this more then gutting this team for Davis. I think the team the way it is going has a chance to be championship caliber with out Davis. I'm interested to see what KOC does in the next few months as they will be key.
