Anthony Davis has taken the mantle as the face of the franchise for the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2024-25 season as head coach JJ Redick envisioned when he took the job this past offseason.
Redick noted he wanted to make Davis the focal point of what the Lakers do on both ends of the floor, and he’s done that as the star big man has assumed more responsibility overall. Thanks to Davis, Los Angeles currently sits in fifth in the Western Conference midway through the regular season though there’s still an opportunity to move up a couple of spots assuming the team can string together more wins.
