Wallace: Davis, Pelicans experience growing pains

MIAMI -- Chris Bosh remembers what it was like: the early burden as a high lottery pick, the expectations to lead a franchise to prosperity, the lucrative contract extension, unexpected coaching changes and frustrating injuries that conspired to stymie hope and progress.

Yes, Bosh easily concedes that Anthony Davis is a superior talent than he was in those early days in Toronto. But thinking back, Bosh sees plenty of similarities between the path he took as a dynamic young power forward trying to learn through losses and Davis' current plight with the hard-luck New Orleans Pelicans.
