Even KAT admits Davis is also a better athlete . And it shows on the court . AD ' s quickness is mystifying . Once upon a time , most bigs were heavier and stronger than him , so they could root him out of the post , knock him off his spot when he tries to make a move and basically overpower him . Now AD is sufficiently strong enough , so he can absorb the contact and even work initiating a little contact to get space . He ' s learned a lot of subtle moves that make him almost unguardable like the way he beats double teams by just dropping to the baseline or that floater he takes while driving across the lane . Sure , KAT may one day learn all of those things , but he isn ' t there yet . Either way , I look forward to seeing how this develops over time .
