Anthony Davis has been the All-Star player the Los Angeles Lakers have hoped for and more as he has helped catapult his new team to a Western Conference-best 5-1 record in the early stages of the 2019-20 NBA season.
Through six games, Davis is averaging a robust 28.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 3.0 blocks and is anchoring one of the league’s best defensive teams. His impact has been nothing short of outstanding as he and LeBron James have quelled any offseason concerns about their fit on the court.
There is always some risk when trading for a player of Davis’ caliber as there is always a possibility they can leave and ruin a team’s long-term plans to build around them.
