Lakers News: Anthony Davis Wants To Win 2019-20 NBA Defensive Player Of The Year

The Los Angeles Lakers trading for Anthony Davis to begin the 2019 NBA offseason was a game-changing move for them and the NBA as a whole.

Davis has long been considered one of the most talented players in the entire league and teaming him up with LeBron James gives the Lakers legitimate championship aspirations.

After sitting out some of the 2018-19 NBA season with the New Orleans Pelicans following his trade request, Davis is anxious to show the world that he is still among the league’s elite. A true two-way talent, he can do everything offensively, but it is defensively where he could be an even bigger difference-maker and that is where his focus is.
