I'd be surprised if Davis turned out to be a Luke Walton type, but I wouldn't be too disappointed if he did. Walton gets a lot of negativity from writers/analysts...but I kind of like his game. He's a true role playing SF. Does a little bit of everything but nothing all that great. He's an above average passer though, probably the best part of his game.

Indiana's off to a good start too. Like the Lakers though, I can't imagine them keeping it up for too long. Danny Granger is playing great and Mike Dunleavy is finally showing some promise. My buddy Ike Diogu is also doing pretty well off their bench, putting up double digits in 20 MPG. 3-0 without Jermaine O'Neal playing good basketball.

I hope Dunleavy keeps it up because I've always liked his game. He plays pretty well at the 1 and 2 spot, and his height makes him such a difficult matchup. It's his terrible defense/inconsistent shooting that's always killed him.

Also...the Kings might be worse than the T Wolves. I can't think of a more selfish, flat out AWFUL basketball team than the Kings right now. Their offense is pretty much, give the ball to Kevin Martin and hope for the best. Even with Bibby and Artest returning later this season, they don't get much better. Instead of having Martin jack up 20 shots a game, they'll just split it up between the three. None of them can carry a load and unfortunately for Kings fans, they're all expected to. Sucks for them, haha.

I like Turiaf a lot. He's got a whole lot PJ Brown to his game and I've got no problems with that. He plays with a lot of energy and finds ways to finish around the hoop. His rebounding and defense are a huge upgrade over what Kwame Brown was bringing them for the past couple of years. It's nice to see Turiaf step up.

And when Bynum comes along, a frontline of Turiaf and Bynum really ain't that bad. They can both block shots and rebound, so they'd be hard to beat inside. One of them, and I'm guessing it isn't Bynum, would have to learn how to shoot a 10 footer because they do get a lot of them with Kobe driving and kicking so frequently. I think they'd make a nice pair.

As for the Bulls, they're looking horrible. Ben Wallace is a shell of himself and it was really only a matter of time before he couldn't perform at all-star level. He relies on rebounding and shot blocking ONLY. Now that he's having a hard time rebounding and blocking shots, there isn't a good reason to keep him on the court. He's not doing much of anything.

T, are the Hornets really a weak rebounding team? I don't know about the team as a whole in terms of rebounding, but their starting frontline of David West (8 RPG) and Tyson Chandler (12 RPG) have me thinking that they'd be a pretty good rebounding team. I don't know about the rest of them though (I bet Peja doesn't board too well).

Chris Paul is incredible. I always thought that D Williams was way ahead of him as a PG, but I'm having many second thoughts. Paul's looking at being the best PG in the league in a couple years, IMO. Really knows how to work his teammates into things.
