Was this a warranted designation?
All-Star Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis submitted probably his second-best season as a Laker in 2023-24, beyond only his 2019-20 run with the club , where he was the second-player on a championship team. He's packed on some weight since then, as he's moved into a full-time center role with the Purple and Gold.
In 2023-24, Davis appeared in a career-most 76 regular season games, averaging 24.7 points on 55.6 percent shooting from the floor and 81.6 percent shooting from long range, 12.6 rebounds, 3.5 dimes, 2.3 blocks and 1.2 steals per contest, as the best player on a 47-35 Lakers club. He also looked better defensively than he had since the middle of 2022-23, and was rewarded for his efforts on that end with an All-Defensive First Team honor .
, in an anonymous poll of current NBA players this spring , Davis received the 11th-most votes as the league's most overrated player. His 2.5% of total player votes ties him with former Lakers teammate Patrick Beverley , Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis, and Boston Celtics power forward Jayson Tatum.
One of the Lakers' top rumored trade prospects this summer, all-offense, no-defense Atlanta Hawks All-Star point guard Trae Young, received the third-most votes of any candidate , behind only Defensive Player of the Year Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert and "Shaqtin' A Fool" regular Jordan Poole, now turning the ball over with hilarious regularity for the Washington Wizards.
