2016-17 Player Preview: Anthony Davis is already great, but we always want more

Make Anthony Davis Great Again? Anthony Davis is already great. A “down” year according to expectations for Davis last season ended with him averaging 24.4 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. It was the second straight year averaging at least 24 points and 10 rebounds a game for the former Kentucky big man. A player has averaged 24 and 10 just 11 times in their first four seasons; Anthony Davis, Shaquille O’Neal, David Robinson, and Karl Malone are the only players to do it more than once. Only Davis and O’Neal did so before their age 23 season.
