The Los Angeles Lakers General Manager and Head Coach introduces Anthony Davis on a news press conference at the UCLA Training Center.
The 6x All star is now an Official Laker, wearing #3 as the NIKE disagree of changing numbers with Lebron because jerseys were already done for next season.
Last season, AD averages 25.9 ppg, 12.0 reb, 3.9 ast with 51.7 FG%. AD's most difficult part was not knowing he's gonna be traded, it is not a relief for him because AD really love the NOP and played for 7 years. But joining the Lakers organization was his plan for a long period of time.
Anthony Davis jokingly said that he will not play center position but if it is needed, he'll play for it. Playing with his former teammates Demarcus Cousins and Rajon Rondo will give him more efficiency on the hardwood since they already have the chemistry. AD is a really great defender, he can guard 1-5 position and play 1-5 position. He can also shoot the ball beyond the arc. Alongside with Lebron, who is currently one of the best player in the league will be much more easier for AD to adjust.
The hype is still on as the new season is coming, the strongest team may stand out. Lakers organization has created a roster that i may think its hard to beat. I may predict that if they can quickly create a bond/chemistry, they might win at least 60 games in regular season.
Anthony Davis Resume:
- 6x All star
- 3x BLK Champion
- 3x All-NBA
- 3x All-Defensive
- 2012-2013 All-Rookie
- 2016-2017 MVP
I wish him the best in Los Angeles Lakers, it is really hard to fight again with another LA, which is the Clippers which is also a threat this season as they signed Kawhi and Paul George.
