I'm not ready to put him up there with great freshmen like Durant, Melo, and Davis just yet.
I think a lot of people forget how raw Davis' game was while he was at Kentucky. He couldn't shoot any better than Simmons either. Simmons' game as a freshman is much more refined than Davis' was. He's a better ball handler, better passer, and just has a much higher bball IQ. Davis was a great athlete, rebounder, and shot blocker at Kentucky

I actually think Davis and Simmons are a pretty good comparison in terms of the leaps and bounds Simmons will take from college to the pros. Both of them you could tell they had/have gears/talent that other people don't, but they weren't quite there yet (though Simmons is better all around than Davis was, which is saying something).
