We still don’t know for sure if Anthony Davis is going to start at center for the Lakers or not — or who the team’s starters will be — but after the team’s final preseason game last week, Davis wanted to make something clear. For all the talk about how much more important his shooting is to space the floor in lineups where he shares the court with a traditional big man, he thinks his shot making is just as critical regardless of whether he’s playing center or not.
Whether he’s making or missing shots, and regardless of what position he’s playing, Davis says he has to be confident and fire away, because LeBron James and Russell Westbrook need space to get to the basket.
