Anthony Davis Responds to The Comparisons Between Himself and Evan Mobley

Anthony Davis has responded to the comparisons coming out between himself and Evan Mobley. The Los Angeles Lakers were able to pick up a much needed victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers last night. They started off very slow this season, including failing to win a game in the preseason. It is clear that there are some issues that need to be looked at if they are going to make any sort of run in the playoffs. That includes the play of Russell Westbrook, who has been less than stellar this season.

Now there are some comparisons coming out on one of the Lakers best players. Anthony Davis has been the shining star of what has been a not very good start. He has been averaging a good amount of points and rebounds and have kept the Lakers in the game at times. Now, people are comparing him to Evan Mobley.

Take a look at what Anthony Davis had to say about this.

Anthony Davis Responds to The Comparisons Between Himself and Evan Mobley

“This is my first time seeing him play, to be honest,” Davis said. “He’s probably the same size I was coming into the league. Pretty skinny. Elite shot-blocker. Lob threat. Kind of has some of the same things I had when I was coming into the league. But probably shot it a little bit better than me. His game is going to progress. He’s going to keep getting better and better. You see the potential to be a three-level scorer, watching film on him a little before the game. I seen him shoot the 3. He hit one tonight. I seen him hit the midrange and floaters. He’d go to the post a lot in the game I’ve watched. He has the potential to be very good. It takes time. But I don’t really compare myself to anybody.”

This is pretty interesting stuff. Mobley definitely has some similarities and it will be interesting to see how he turns out in the league. Comparing him to Anthony Davis is obviously some pretty high praise.

What do you think about the comparisons?
