Anthony Davis

ANTHONY DAVIS (LAL)

HYBRID

NBA ROLE: TWO-WAY (NEW WAVE) SUPERSTAR

 

Anthony Davis: a DIFFERENT BREED of superstar; the #1 overall pick back in 2012, AD's been outstanding in the league, (yet still) has one of the highest ceilings in recent memory; AD does whatever he wants offensively – infamous growth spurt (shot up to 6’10 heading into his senior year of HS) allowed Davis to retain his agility and guard skills in a power forward’s body, giving him an advantage over, well, everyone; incredible skill level – go-to, high-arching jumper is money from mid & long range, AD features a ton of moves facing the rim (quick jabber-Js, soft floaters, driving dunks) & is one of the league’s best finishers after rolling; defensively, AD rotates well for swats on the weak side, is much improved defending the basket & controlling matchups; great chemistry w/ LeBron James – rare DIFFERENT BREED duo*; featuring ‘created player’ size, length and speed, Davis reps the new generation of bigs – top 10 overall talent when healthy; NBA Champ! w/ Lakers – will AD add to his trophy case in LA?
