Through the first two games of the 2016-17 NBA Season, Anthony Davis has been the league’s best player. Davis is averaging 47.5 points, 16.5 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks and 4.5 steals and has reminded all those who doubted him last season just who the league’s next great big man is. It’s not Karl Antony-Towns, it’s not Joel Embiid, it’s not Kristaps Porzingis, it’s still Anthony Davis.
But these astronomical numbers Davis is putting up has been all for not because the Pelicans found themselves to be the losing team yet again, this time to the souped up Golden State Warriors.
