The comparison has been made over and over again at this point, but Anthony Davis has a lot of Tim Duncan in him.
For one, he's a superb defensive talent. That's the biggest reason people see Davis going on to have a terrific NBA career. He locks onto rebounds like a heat-seeking missile, blocks shots like he doesn't get fed if he doesn't match a quota and never complains if he doesn't get the love on the offensive end.
Like Duncan, Davis has a tremendous basketball IQ, he plays hard and is consistent to no end, with few visible flaws to his game.
Unlike the 1998 Rookie of the Year, Davis' offensive game isn't quite as polished yet (Duncan did spend four years at Wake Forrest, whereas Davis played just one at Kentucky), but his offense should grow as the season and his career wades forward.
Others Considered: Blake Griffin for his potential as a game-changer and ability to put down alley-oops like a fat kid puts down cake. Dave Cowens for his unique style of play, defensive dominance and unruly motor.
