I wrote about Anthony Davis’ position (reluctant center), his shot-selection (decidedly power forward) and the sacrifices it takes to win a championship.

TL;DR: AD needs to chill with the jumpershttps://t.co/AR23XsosGV
Davis, maybe the most dangerous finisher in basketball, has lived on the perimeter to a startling degree this season. Sharing the floor with another big man only exacerbates the problem by giving him a license to take ill-advised mid-range jumpers early in the shot-clock. What else is he supposed to do when the paint is clogged?
Enough with this ‘AD won’t play center’ stuff.
Time for a reporter to point blank ask him!
If AD doesn’t want to play the five, then Lakers should have Morris do it. Just get some shooting on the floor instead of a traditional center like McGee or Howard.
I have been very worried about Davis’ jump shooting for a while and it’s good to know I am not alone in that.
