On Wednesday, when the Los Angeles Lakers faced off against the Jazz in Utah, Anthony Davis scored 26 points on 9-11 shooting from the field against two-time Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert. As if that didn’t make Gobert look bad enough, Davis also ended the game with three blocks to Gobert’s zero.
If you told a casual fan to pick out the two-time Defensive Player of the Year from the players that were on the court on Thursday, it’s safe to assume they wouldn’t have picked anyone on the Jazz — the team that allowed 121 points, including 52 points in the paint.
