Four years ago, Kevin Hanson, the New Orleans Pelicans' assistant coach who has gone deepest into the player development weeds with Davis, told me about their next big challenge: coaxing Davis toward two-dribble moves.
The younger Davis was comfortable dribbling only once. He covered so much ground, he sometimes didn't need a second. But to reach his ceiling as a do-it-all force, the Pelicans knew he would have to grow as a ball-handler.
Progress has come slowly. Davis still averages less than once dribble per touch -- not unusual for a big man finisher.
