If you fear memphis Grizzlies for the last two
seasons, you might want to start to
fear New Orleans Pelicans. Both team
have great rim protecting centers. Grizzlies has Marc Gasol while Pelicans has Omer Asik and Anthony Davis. Difference
is, Gasol is a proven two players that has solid range beyond the paint. Asik
is offensively limited and Davis
still has to show that his mid j and are post moves are for real now that other
coaches have another year to prepare a
blueprint to stop him.
Eventhough not as reputable as Mike Conley, Jrue Holiday is also a good defender. The
only thing Pelicans lack is a player like the grindfather Tony Allen. Pelicans more
than makes up to it by having probably the best front court rotations. Back up PF Ryan Anderson is a deadly 3pt
shooter, something that Grizzlies lacked in the last two seasons. Omer Asik
and Anthony Davis can double as power forward. Asik’s size and surprisingly quick feet make
him a nightmare for bully power forward like Blake griffin and Zac Randolph. Davis’s incredible
wingspan will haunt stretch fours like Lemarcus Aldridge
and Kevin Love,
What ‘s even scarier, if you read this fine piece on bourbonstreetshots.com, there will be times in which Davis will be matched up against back up centers. Yup, you read that right. The future NBA
superstar will feast on all back up centers in the NBA.
