This is likely one of the main reasons why Anthony Davis is as happy with his situation in Dallas as he is.
After the initial shock wore off from the Luka Doncic-Anthony Davis trade in February, Dallas Mavericks fans still aboard the bandwagon immediately started wondering if Davis would play more at the four or at the five, especially since Dallas has such a deep center pool already with Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford. However, these questions were answered quickly as Davis played 61 percent of his minutes at the five with Dallas last season, in large part due to Dallas' bigs being heavily injured through that stretch.
