2017 Player Reviews: Anthony Davis Reclaims His Throne

Going into the 2015-16 NBA season, Anthony Davis and his Pelican team was a media darling. They were coming off a postseason appearance and employed a legit future star who donned a signature brow and a No. 23 jersey. The Pelicans were expected to make a leap from up and coming fringe playoff team to potential top-4 seed, and Davis was supposed to be lauded in praises and MVP trophies. In a preseason survey, 86 percent of the NBA’s 30 general managers said they would pick Davis if they were starting a franchise and could sign any player.
