During Saturday’s introductory press conference for the newest Lakers star, Anthony Davis, GM Rob Pelinka called him the “most dominant young basketball player in the world.”
At age 26, the 6’10’’ big man with guard skills and seemingly endless reach averaged 25.9 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 2.4 blocks and 1.6 steals last season in New Orleans despite playing his fewest minutes (33.0) since his 2012-13 rookie season. He’s already made three All-NBA 1st Teams and been an All-Star every season outside of that rookie year.
“There is no more complete basketball player in the game,” Pelinka continued.
