WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. – As Anthony Davis kept sinking three-pointers and deep twos during a Wednesday intrasquad scrimmage – sometimes with a defender in his face – he turned to deliver a friendly glare at close friend Tyreke Evans, making sure the point guard noticed the two-time New Orleans All-Star’s extended range. Evans enjoyed a laugh over the good-natured exchange.
“He knocked down some threes, besides the corner (three), and he looked at me,” Evans recalled Thursday morning. “But I said, ‘It’s not in (an official) game.’
“(His shooting stroke) definitely looked good. He worked on it all summer; I was around him in the summer in New Orleans.
