Anthony Davis has been dominant lately for Los Angeles, but don't tell him this is the best stretch of basketball he's played in his career. “It might be fourth or fifth.' jovanbuha on how Davis' MVP play has fueled the Lakers' recent resurgence.
often is, Davis mixed up his approach by popping out for an open 3. He’s 5-of-11 on 3s over his past nine games. His jump shot has looked better recently, and he’s hit two 3s in back-to-back games for the first time since the 2018-19 season.“People haven’t seen it for a while because he’s dealt with different injuries,” Lakers coach Darvin Ham said of Davis’ shooting. “Now they’re seeing it. It’s nothing that he’s added. He’s always been able to shoot deep.
Davis welcomes contact in a way that he hasn’t over the past two seasons. Part of that is because of his progression as a free-throw shooter. Davis is shooting 83.2 percent from the charity stripe this season after shooting 72.5 percent over the past two years combined. Davis has been the best player in the league for nearly a month. He’s beginning to garner MVP buzz. On Monday, he earned his first Player of the Week award since December 2019. At 10-12 and in 13th in the West, the Lakers’ record and seeding aren’t good enough for Davis to earn legitimate MVP consideration. But with a relatively wide-open and condensed Western Conference, Davis should firmly be in the discussion if the surging Lakers can re-enter the playoff picture.
