After years and years of fans campaigning for him to do so, Anthony Davis finally embraced the center position and played there almost exclusively last season. According to Cleaning The Glass, 99% of Davis’ minutes last season were at the center position, by far the most in his career.
Hopefully, Lakers fans enjoyed that because it might be short-lived.
This offseason, the Lakers signed Jaxson Hayes to a two-year veteran’s minimum deal. While he certainly was depth at the center position, he may have an even bigger role than that.
In an appearance on The Lowe Post, Dave McMenamin of ESPN talked about the Lakers’ offseason and mentioned that he could see Hayes starting at center this season alongside Davis.
