Contest: Anthony Davis Signed Basketball

Leave a comment, win a rock autographed by the newest No. 1 pick.

From SLAM 149 to SLAM 160 to the various online contests in recent weeks, we haven’t been shy of our level of admiration and support for the NBA’s newest No. 1 pick, Anthony Davis.

In honor of both the Draft and our newest issue, which features Davis on the cover and is currently on newsstands across the globe, we’re giving away one official Spalding NBA Game Ball (pictured right) signed by none other than Anthony himself.

All you have to do to enter the contest is drop a comment on this post (please provide your real email address) that says how far you think the New Orleans Hornets can go with their core of AD, Austin Rivers, (potentially) Eric Gordon and whomever else GM Dell Demps and head coach Monty Williams bring along. Short-term, long-term, it doesn’t matter; to what degree will Bourbon street be buzzing?

One winner will be picked by this Friday, July 6, and contacted early next week. Good luck!

    Teams win with a combination of great defense and offense. Right now, the Hornets have Davis as their long term cornerstone. He’s projected to be a great defensive stopper who I think will be similar in defensive impact as Marcus Camby. Offensively he will be better probably but it’s hard to say how good he will be. Other than him he’s got Austin Rivers, who will probably bee a low percentage high volume shooter. Basically a poor man’s Eric Gordon. Is that what you want to build a team? I think Chris Kaman is still there to be the starting center. Small forward could be Aminu. Starting PG is probably still Jarrett Jack. They also have the pretty good spaniard Vasquez. A solid backup big in Ayon. I think they are shooting for the lottery again. This team has no core right now.

    short term they still won’t be very good. They are going to be EXTREMELY young and they will have growing pains for at least a few years. They are going to need to continue to grow and learn to play together and keep that core intact and continue to build around those three if they want to begin to see success again. They will need to bring in some veterans and continue to stockpile young talent but they have at least started to make good moves. Those three do form a good core but it will take some time before the dividends begin to show from them.

    Look out for the Hornets. I think they could really surprise people next year. One thing for sure is that they will be a fun team to with in 2k13.
