The Bird Writes staff made 9 bold predictions last year and struck out miserably. Anthony Davis having a somewhat down season hurt many, but hey, there is a reason why they’re named bold predictions!
Give me one bold prediction for the upcoming season. (Your answer may be individually or team-based.)
Jason: Anthony Davis awarded NBA All-Defensive First Team honors
This is going to be the year Anthony Davis finally makes the NBA All-Defensive First Team. Now that the Pelicans have added some players on the wing who can play defense in the NBA — I'm looking at you Solomon Hill — as well as some versatility in the post in Terrence Jones, Davis will face fewer instances of having to guard both the opponent that blows by his teammate and still worry about his original assignment.
