Patric Young signs 2 year deal with Pelicans

I'm not so sure he has the athleticism and length to win DPOY. I think he can carve out a career similar to Haslem. Except maybe slightly less offense and more of a defensive stalwart.

Agree with this. Young won't block enough shots to ever really merit DPOY consideration. And to be honest, a lot of what he does well defensively is completely underappreciated by the casual fan. Defense often isn't easy to find on a stat sheet (same for Wilbekin).

Young > Davis

Anthony Davis? Not even close, no disrespect intended. Davis is a budding All-Star and might very well end up as the next Tim Duncan. Patric Young is a fantastic college player and a terrific person, but he's not even in the same league as Davis when it comes to the NBA.

Young is a Gator. Davis is a pussycat. So Young > Davis.
