The Los Angeles Lakers know Anthony Davis is a dominant big man capable of anchoring a championship defense, but he comes with two major faults. The Mavericks seemingly ignored his lengthy injury history when trading Luka Doncic for him. The baffling move will forever be a league-altering one. Dallas is finally learning that AD is best at the five, despite his desires to be a power forward.
The Lakers refused to grant his wish to add a starting-caliber big man to play next to him several times. Davis struggles to consistently make 3-pointers, so the offensive spacing can be problematic when he plays the four.
