Anthony Davis is ready to cement his place atop the list of the NBA’s best big men, and the loss of DeMarcus Cousins for the duration of the 2017-18 season has given him a ripe opportunity to do so. Davis has received the consistent knock of not producing a winning team, but thus far, this postseason has begun to erase those doubts as Davis and company just completed its sweep of the Portland Trail Blazers to kick off what could be a historic playoff run.
Indeed, all things seem to be coming together for the Pelicans, and Davis’ dominance is peaking at just the right time.
