For years, I’ve wondered what it would be like if Anthony Davis just focused on the shots that would make him most efficient. How good could he be if he ditched those mid-post isolation fadeaways to instead make a living only in and around the paint? What if he used his giant frame and incredible athleticism to stuff entire defensive units into the rim?
Well, it turns out I’m a moron. Not that anyone reading is surprised, but yeah. I’m a complete doofus.
Davis has been tremendously efficient to start this season. He’s basically eliminated the three-pointer from his repertoire and is doing whatever he can to take as many shots as close to the basket as possible.
