In the ever-evolving NBA, size hasn't necessarily been devalued; rather, the number of quality players towering over their counterparts has diminished immensely. But the desire to find a potentially franchise-altering big man remains the same — perhaps more than ever in a league dominated by point guards — and the New Orleans Hornets will have a rare opportunity to draft a potentially dominant, shot-blocking forward who just happened to be a 6-foot-2 guard three years ago. Anthony Davis did not have a problem learning how to play big, partly because he already had honed his talents before undergoing an astounding eight-inch growth spurt that elevated him from unknown high school prospect to the nation's top recruit.
