That sounds like someone who will alter shots. He isn't someone like Oden who will make you think twice about coming at him. But from what you're saying, it seems like he will make his man shoot at an angle that he didn't originally plan for.

I think a more appropriate comparison for Davis is Zach Randolph (minus legal issues we hope). Davis doesn't have Barkley's superior athleticism or freakishly long arms. He's just a big guy who knows how to use his weight to get his shot off. He definately needs to replace fat with muscle if he wants to achieve in the NBA. Randolph has changed some physically since being in the league and I think Davis can too. Clearly, we have the trainers in place to do it if you look at Perkins. Now if Davis could pick up Perks' work ethic to go with the skills he already has, that would be something.
