You gotta love his handles for a center. |

The FT shooting is huge. He’s an 80% FT shooter. Here’s what our starting lineup shot from the line last year:
.417
.867
.657
.665
.632 |
(bleep) putrid, especially Zo. So glad to have someone who can actually sink the from the line. _________________ "Chick lived and breathed Lakers basketball…but he was also fair and objective and called every game the way it was played."

Yup. I think there's a pretty solid correlation between high team TS% and winning in the NBA. We were a horrible 3pt and FT shooting team last year. FTs alone cost us at least 6-7 games last season |

Only 3 players shot more FTs per game than Davis last year: Harden, Embiid, and Giannis. The year before: only Giannis and Harden. _________________ 14-5-3-12 |

Possible. But due to the size difference between a guard and a center what's the point of comparing |

I think most of us forgot AD played guard in high school before his huge growth spurt. It's why he has natural guard skills and is the perfect modern-NBA big man. |

Could be recent b/c if he was caught wearing Lakers gear b/f the trade it would look bad. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

Scroll the comments.
He says AD has been here for a few weeks. I believe he mentions it was sometime before the trade. |
