WASHINGTON, D.C. – New Orleans made several changes to its coaching staff during the 2015 offseason, but assistant Kevin Hanson was retained, partly because of his role in the steady individual development of Anthony Davis. Hanson and the basketball world at large saw some of the fruits of that labor Sunday, when the 6-foot-10 Davis turned in the finest offensive game of anyone in the NBA this season, pouring in 59 points. He nearly averaged two points per shot attempt, setting a franchise record with 24 made baskets on 34 attempts.
“I think we saw the full package,” Hanson described of the array of ways in which the three-time All-Star scored against the Pistons.
