Los Angeles Lakers: Examining Anthony Davis’ underrated playmaking abilities

Last year with the Pelicans, Anthony Davis averaged a career-high in assists at 3.9, which although may seem low, is still impressive for any big man not named Nikola Jokic. Per CleaningtheGlass, Davis’ assist percentage has gone up almost every single year he’s been in the league. This year, Davis has an AST% 16%, which puts him in the 87th percentile amongst all players at his position.

We all know the story, how Davis used to play point guard when he was in high school before a growth spurt necessitated a move to forward/center.
