Oh, I'm aware he played PF in the Bahamas, just don't think it matters much. We'll see. I think a few people are big eyeing AP's potential to show out next year. That's all. It's these unrealistic expectations I have a problem with, not "the PF position will benefit AP greatly" part of the convo. Well, maybe the "greatly" part.You missed the point. He played the 4 in the Bahamas.
In fact, I also believe that PF is his best position, and if he's used primarily at that position and buys in this season, we should see a better version of AP. But what that means avg. pts and rebs. wise, I have no clue. I could see him averaging 10 and 5. Hell, I could see Willis getting those numbers too, and just as easily and on par with AP's probability of doing so.
"Garbage man" has been used to describe his game from the PF position and I don't disagree with this observation either. But the term Garbage man doesn't really inspire me with all these warm and fuzzy feelings it apparently does with others. I love to see the AP that showed up in the Bahamas show up most nights for us this coming year, but that wouldn't be a realistic expectation, imo. Maybe a AP that falls between the Bahamas and all other games he's played at UK is the most we can expect, and anything above that should be considered gravy. Highly unlikely gravy.
