AD has not been as dominant this season of the NBA, averaging 22.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.9 blocks in 33.6 minutes per game. He’s shooting better from the field at 53.0% percent, but his 3-point percentage is down to 31.5% and he’s just over 70% on free throws.
Davis recently addressed the notion that he hasn’t been as shocking this season:
“I don’t trust the offense to have a great season. I’m doing my best defensively. When you’re a two-way player, you don’t have to rely on one aspect of the game just by scoring. I can help my team win on the defensive side and take shots when necessary. “
While the numbers aren’t all there this season, the athletic big man is still a cheat code on both ends of the court that gives Lakers versatility in your lineups. Los Angeles is a dominant 18-6 this season even with the numbers of Anthony Davis a little down.
