Wasn’t this offseason supposed to be the start of Anthony Davis reign over the center position? In late September, coach Alvin Gentry said when referring to the team’s starting frontcourt, “we’re going to start whoever at that particular time is going to be best for us”. That could mean the traditional Omer Asik or Alexis Ajinca in low-minute starting roles, it could mean Terrence Jones and Anthony Davis switching assignments on both sides, it could mean Solomon Hill moving up a position right away.
Regardless of what position Anthony Davis plays, his game is more likely to adapt to the lineups around him and the opponent across from him.
