Pelicans.com continues its look back at the 2015-16 season with player-by-player analysis of the team:
2015-16 OVERVIEW
There was a perception from some basketball analysts that Anthony Davis took a step back from his previous season – when he was an All-NBA first-team selection – but that’s not an outlook shared by his head coach. Davis put up nearly identical statistics in scoring average (24.3 ppg compared to 24.4 last season) and rebounding average (10.3 rpg, slightly better than 10.2 last season). However, team results greatly impacted assessments of the three-time All-Star – the Pelicans dipped from 45 wins to 30 and did not return to the playoffs.
